After a brief nibble for lunch, the PM qualifying for classes of Le Mans and GT took place.
In Le Mans Elliot would continue his form from the morning, qualifying first. Nick improved from the morning and qualified close behind son Elliot. Deane and Andy would fight it out for the last A final place, with only 0.1 of a lap separating them, Deane, securing his place in the 'A'. In GT Dave topped the qualifying table, with Clive in second and Callum with an obviously quick car, but struggling to keep it on the 'black stuff'. Tony M qualified a very respectable 4th. The Grand Touring finals took place first with Jim, Josh, Louis and Tony all aiming to step up into the A final. Tony was the Victor, just over a lap ahead of Jim. In the A final, Callum found his form, taking the win from Clive, Tony and Dave. The Le Mans finals began with another race off between the Townsends, Marc and Henry, Marc being the winner and stepping up into the B final. The B was won by Andy, who joined Elliot, Nick and Deane in the A final. Elliot once again asserted his great race pace winning from Andy. Nick and Deane both struggling with issues in the finals, finishing 3rd and 4th. |
