Final Round Autumn Sunday Cup
The Championship title for both classes was to be decided on Sunday as a
strong grid of drivers took part in the final round of the Autumn Cup.
The tricky track conditions were perfectly displayed in the first heat when two
different leaders spun in the first two laps, proving the track was more
slipperly than it looked. James Tomsett showed why he was top in the
championship with an excellent win. Alex Brazier, making his first appearance
in the series was a comfortable second, and Joe Hunt, who has won the
previous two rounds, was third. Lloyd Santer was fourth and James Barnard
came in fifth.
The second race was dominated by James Barnard, who from early on in the
race gained a clear lead. Joe Hunt pursued Barnard for most of the race but
was unable to catch him. Disaster struck for Tomsett as he got himself stuck in
the tyres, meaning he finished 10th, leaving the lightweight championship
wide open. Alex Brazier continued his consistent day, finishing third and Luke
Skilton, competing in his first round on the Sunday Cup, was fourth.
The results were put together and it was shown that Luke Skilton has won the
Heavyweight class, with James Fermer second and Simon Edwards third. Alex
Brazier's consistency was rewarded with a first place trophy in the lightweight
class, James Barnard was a deserved second place and Joe Hunt came in third.
Tomsett managed to just about hang on and win the lightweight Championship
by just 3 points, while Simon Edwards good run of results meant he was
heavyweight Championship winner.
