2016 Figure 8 Results & Points
Posted: Tue 19 Apr 2016, 11:34 pm
Round 1
15 drivers turned up for the first race of the last points championship to get going this season on 1st April with the first round of the Figure 8 championship from the classic Blackwood Car Park Figure 8 layout. The change to UF1s, although unpopular at first, proved to be very exciting with great racing action and some cracking crossover collisions. There was some poor behaviour on show from some drivers so this will need to be reviewed.
The battle at the top was so tight it couldn't be split as Cap and Nova scored 57 points each to be joint winners of the meeting. The European champion's two heat wins ahead of #27's sole Allcomers win puts him in pole on the fledgling Figure 8 World Final grid. Reigning Figure 8 World and Points champ Kane had four heat wins and a rare DD victory but a failure to score in the final hampered his chances of taking the round. Lukey and surprisingly Mr. T-Bone, winning his first race of 2016, picked up the other heat wins with one each, Looney took the final and Jake W., also recording his first win of the year, won the other allcomers.
Top 10 scored points in all heats and the top 5 scored points in the final. Allcomers were non-points. 5 points went to the winner of the DD.
