Round 13 Laguna Seca
Tony pipped Durbin to win the spec race in a tense finish with Keith third. This sealed the championship for Tony.
The feature race had a bizarre end to the season as the fuel lap counter appeared to be incorrect meaning most ran out of fuel. Durbin spotted the problem in qualifying and made sure he had plenty on board. The 906s of Keith and Tony got to the pits to ensure the remaining podium spots
Fulvio passes Tony in the feature race
Round 12 Donington
Wins for Keith and Danilo as Baz & Tony had races to forget with Baz being unable to join the spec race with his online profile thus ensuring the championship goes down to the last round at Laguna. Good performances from Erik, Durbin & Shaun to pick up the podium spots.
Round 11 Riverside
A maiden win for Shaun in the feature in an incredibly close finish with Durbin by 0.3 with Tony just 1 second behind Durbin.
Tony won the Sprint race from Shaun and Koit.
Round 10 Castle Combe
Ronny won the Sprint race from Durbin & Keith whilst Tony catapulted his Shelby 350 over a kerb into instant retirement.
The feature race fell to Danilo with Christian pipping Baz to second at the line
Round 9 Cadwell Park
Danilo took his second win of the season in the Renault Alpines from Tony and debut driver Durbin.
Durbin followed his sprint race podium with an excellent feature race victory in his 911. Danilo followed also in a 911 whilst Tony made it a Porsche clean sweep for the podium in his 906.
The table to the right now includes the adjusted scores, dropping the lowest scoring two race meetings
Round 8 Oulton Island
Wins for Koit and Keith at the Oulton Island circuit.
Podiums for Shaun, Baz & Tony to keep the championship nice and tight!
Round 7 Goodwood
Marco won the sprint race in the Ferraris. A fine 2nd for Erik with Keith in third.
The second race saw Barry take his second feature race in a row with Keith & Koit on the podium.
Round 6 Dijon
Keith and Barry took the Sprint and Feature races respectively leaving Tony, Koit and Shaun to pick up the podium spots.
Two great races made for a very enjoyable race night for everyone it seemed.
Round 5 Silverstone 88
Marco continued his domination of the sprint races and followed up with victory in the feature race in his BMW.
Baz and Tony took second and third respectively in both races.
Round 4 Zolder
Marco again won the sprint race in the TVR, followed by new driver Danilo Boselli with Koit in third.
Danillo took the feature race in a fine debut performance from Koit and Fulvio
Round 3 Crystal Palace
Sprint race honours fell to Marco, with Baz and Ronny taking the other podium positions.
A fine drive from 5th through the field to first saw Fulvio win the feature race in his 911. Tony just managed to fend off a charging Marco to hold onto second in an intense finish.
Round 2 Zandvoort
Marco Casadei won the sprint race from lights to flag in the AC Cobras, Keith Lawrie and Fulvio Policardi took the remaining podium places.
The feature race saw plenty of action with Glen Field taking to the front on lap 3, a position he held to the end. Baz West finished second from fifth on the grid with Ronny van de Pol fighting his way to a fine third from ninth. The midfield battles were pretty intense!
Round 1 Brands Hatch
Ronny van de Pol and Tony Rickard shared the honours at the first round at Brands last Wednesday. In both races the driver in second on the grid took the first corner and held the lead to the flag. Ronny and Tony were never separated by more than a second in an intense sprint race. Baz West took pole in the feature race and pushed Tony hard in the middle part of the race to finish second.
