With the last round of the SEMSEC Sports and Saloon Car Championship the Teams expectations were running high as this was our home circuit.
Official qualifying saw our Mini Clubman snatch pole position by over .5 of a second.
With the run into Chessons Drift (1st corner) the mini was out-dragged by a rapid Escort RS2000, combat ensued for over 10 laps, eventually forcing the Escort into a mistake and conceding his 1st place.
The priority in the 2nd race was to conserve our last set of allocated front tyres, too much wheel spin from a standing start could play havoc with the longevity of the Avon slick as 15 laps on this circuit induces rapid wear.
A non aggressive start saw the mini once again settle for 2nd place, for 8 laps our adversary drove a defensive race until aggressive defensive driving forced premature wear in his overheating tyres, allowing the Escort to run wide. He had to settle for 2nd place. Watch the thrilling race unfold here.
With 2 Poles and 2 Overall wins, it was a successful weekend for the Team.
With our Maddogs Team amassed points we were Crowned Semsec Sports and Saloons Champion.
