2017 BRITISH CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS

Postby Jon#606 » Fri 12 May 2017, 11:20 pm

The first graded title of 2017 was decided tonight with the British Championship at the debuting Mildenhall. I apologise for the late start to the meeting, but given the number attending, it wasn't worth starting until everyone was there.

This was easily the lowest-attended championship meeting in a long time with just 12 attendees. Three drivers who raced did not compete in a qualifying round and because of the low numbers, were allowed to line up at the back in numerical order. Those three were Northern Irish duo 515 Joshua and 911 Cole, and three-time British champion 307 Foster.

Here is the grid of twelve drivers that contested the 2017 British Championship (reigning champion denoted by the italic C in white brackets next to their name):

47 Michal - - - - - - - - - - - 997 Rik (C)
27 Cap - - - - - - - - - - - - - 616 Jam
606 Jon - - - - - - - - - - - - 870 Looney
228 Splat - - - - - - - - - - - 66 Colin
307 Foster - - - - - - - - - - 786 Brett
911 Cole - - - - - - - - - - - 515 Joshua


Despite the low numbers, this was an excellent race that saw the lead change multiple times before one driver managed to make a gap and claimed victory...

1st: Rik
2nd: Jam
3rd: Foster
Other finishers: Joshua, Colin, Jon, Brett, Splat

Rik becomes the second driver to retain his British Championship title after a hard-fought victory that saw 5 different drivers take the lead. Finishing just behind the Dutchman was European champion Jam, while it wasn't to be number 4 for Foster as his championship run ended with a third place. As always, commiserations to those who finished the 22 lap race but got nothing for it.

Here are the results from the other races that took place tonight, which were all non-points. Well done to all the winners:

Heat 1: Cap, Foster, Looney, Brett, Jam, Splat, Jon
Heat 2: Jam, Cap, Foster, Jon, RIk, SPlat, Loney, Michal, Colin, Brett

So, just to remind you:
