The Awning Company Super One Series Round 5: Llandow 4/5 June 2016

MSA British Cadet Championship for IAME

Bray Kenneally took two stunning maiden Super One victories lifting him to third in the championship standings behind Harry Thompson and Joseph Taylor. The AIM Motorsport driver had to settle for fourth in the timed qualifying joint results behind Thompson, Van Knapton and Arvid Lindblad. Kenneally soon took over at the front, throwing off further lead challenges from Thompson, Joseph Taylor and Georgi Dimitrov to win by a nose width. Final two was the highlight of the weekend as Kenneally had to contend with no less than half a dozen Fusion karts plus several others as a lead pack of ten broke away. But every time either Thompson or Joseph Taylor forged ahead Kenneally fought straight back, fearful that he would be elbowed to the rear of the lead group.  With a lap and a half to go, just as Kenneally was looking at his most vulnerable Thompson and Taylor began to battle over second, delaying each other and allowing Kenneally to make his escape to a popular win.  Thompsons’ move for second on the last lap on Taylor allowed Dimitrov to follow through with Jonny Wilkinson climbing up to fifth.

ABkC Junior TKM National Championship

Bradley White just pipped Abbi Pulling by a tenth for honours of pole for the heats, winning both heats. In the first final Fowler first took Pulling then snatched the lead from White, the latter falling to third but fighting back to the front which had been briefly held by Pulling. So White was at the front when it mattered from Pulling, Fowler and Ian Sisson.The second final was punctuated for dealing with a crash of Sisson, then at the restart Pulling was quickly to the front and holding all the way to her maiden Super One victory.

ABkC TKM Extreme National Championship

Harry Moore prevailed over Simon Vercoe and Sam Fowler at the top of a massive 42 kart entry, Moore winning two heats to Sebastian Hutchison’s one.  Moore enjoyed a lights to flag victory in the first final followed almost all the way by Vercoe until Matt England leapfrogged two karts on the last lap to take second.  However his day was done when he crashed out on the formation lap of the second final, leaving Moore more or less in charge after retrieving the lead briefly held by Vercoe.  Fowler had fallen to the back of the first final and could only make it up to 14th in the second with a total of nine karts penalised for displaced front fairings across the two finals.

Junior X30 International Qualifier

Angus Fender dominated Saturday’s timed qualifying and heats but points leader Gordon Mutch battled back to win Sunday’s first final from grid five. Mutch also crossed the line first in final two but was excluded for not having done up his helmet strap and so the win went to Oliver Clarke, who passed Fender at the final corner with Shane White in third.  Fender leads the standings with Mutch falling to fourth.

Senior X30 International Qualifier

Local ace Josh Collings had a perfect weekend winning every race with points leader Matt Davies second every time, never close enough to challenge.  Scott Mackrell was third in the first final, Jack Partridge in the second one, recovering from eighth after a 10s displaced front fairing penalty.
