MSA X30 Junior National Championship

Lewis Gilbert was just 0.02s faster than Alessandro Ceronetti in Qualifying with Matthew Hudson a tenth off pole, but Hudson was the leader after the heats with 2nd and 3rd. Gilbert and Ceronetti took the heat wins but were less successful in their other heats leaving Clayton Ravenscroft on the front row next to Hudson.

Ravenscroft made a slightly better start to Final 1 but Hudson was back in control by the end of the first lap where he stayed throughout the wet race, gradually increasing his gap to Ceronetti then Ravenscroft in 2nd.

 

In Final 2 the track was drying and Ravenscroft quickly secured the lead ahead of Hudson and Teddy Pritchard-Williams where they stayed throughout the race, but Pritchard-Williams was penalised for driving standards which promoted Ceronetti to another 3rd.

On dropped scores Ravenscroft has a 24 point lead over Gilbert and another gap to Lewis Thompson.

MSA TKM Senior National Championship

TKM Extreme was the biggest class of the day with 40 entries and Joe Fowler took pole ahead of Kristian Brierley and Jake Campbell-Mills. Fowler retained the lead after the heats but Adam Sparrow moved up to 2nd and Chris Whitton 3rd, while the heat wins went to Fowler, Whitton and Kyle Sproat. Sproat would be one to watch after other problems in the heats gave him a low grid position.

 

In Final 1, Joe Fowler was unbeatable on the wet track, pulling away from Max Goldsmith who had overcome Theo Hesketh and ending up the winner by over 7 seconds. Pete Newman gained 11 places and took 3rd from Hesketh in the closing stages, while Sproat gained 14 places for 5th.

Sproat took 2nd at the start of Final 2 and was in the lead a lap later while Fowler, Newman and Hesketh fought for 2nd behind him, joined by Sam Fowler towards the end. Sproat was faster and took the chequered flag with a second’s lead.

Reeves-Smith leads the Championship on drops while Joe Fowler moves up to 2nd and Whitton and Welham are on equal points in 3rd, but the gaps are relatively small.

MSA X30 Senior National Championship

Morgan Porter qualified fastest, ahead of Championship leader Joe Turney by a large margin with Sean Butcher 3rd. However, Turney secured pole for Final 1 with 2nd and 3rd in the heats ahead of Butcher and Oliver Hodgson with Porter down in 5th after problems in his first heat.

In Final 1 Turney was the early leader of the wet race, before Luke Hughes passed him then a while later so did Porter. Porter continued his trajectory to take the lead in the closing stages, but lost his win with a bumper penalty that dropped him to 4th. Hughes was the winner from Turney, with a bigger gap to Butcher in 3rd.

Turney was the clear winner on the drying track of Final 2 after dispatching Hughes after four laps. Porter took 2nd at half distance but didn’t manage to reel Turney in.

Turney remains in the lead of the Championship on dropped scores with Hodgson 2nd and Porter 3rd.
