Round 5 of EssexCarpetClash4 took place last Sunday, and the drivers entered the venue to a slightly untraditional track layout compared to normal. With the straight in the centre of the track, a cross over and a larger jump for this round, it was a ‘Marmite’ track for the drivers. After heated practice, the 4 rounds of qualifying started with the best 2 to count. Harley Eldridge got to grips with the track straight away taking the top spot in all rounds. Stephen Brown would line up second with Steven Kelly in 3rd beating Lee Hedges on a better time. 2wd saw a number of drivers at the top of the timing sheets, but it was Ollie Payne, that took pole for the final by taking TQ in the first 2 rounds.
