The A fianl cars, -
The winning car, with a close up of the Group 12 motor.
The JK Aeolos chassis and Attan Tesla EVO bodyshell was also the choice of a good many other racers.
Gavin was top qualifier so started the final on red lane.
Production Saloon
The 17 competitors raced in 2 groups, 9 in the B and 8 in the A.
Bob Budge won the B by just under a lap from Mike Thomson, only three of the A finalists beat those scores.
Gavin Wills won the A final by the impressive margin of 22 laps Simon Scott took second by over 8 laps from top qualifier Josh Bryant who was 2 laps ahead of Bob.
The A Final Josh, Gavin, Richard, David Ron. Barry, Simon and Terry
Gavin’s winning car
Eurosport
The 19 competitors raced in 3 groups,
Both Josh Bryant and David Sargent hit car
trouble in the 1 min qualifying so didn’t set representative qualifying times and
ran in the C. Josh fixed his car in the warm up and set race laps that would have
qualified second overall. Josh won the C by over 46 laps from David Farrow. David
Sargent started the race in the pits, and when he did join was quicker than everybody
except Josh. That sort of speed differential isn’t ideal!
Richard Mack won the B final from Steve Pratt by 10 laps.
And so to the A final which
was initially led by Barry Gilzean from Gavin Wills and Simon Scott, but they were
a little behind Josh’s pace at ¼ distance. Gavin took the lead, both Simon and
Barry retired in the later stages of the race, Simon with a spectacularly bent chassis!
Gavin upped the pace to finish 4 laps up on Josh’s C final time with Ron Kiddell
third 21 laps behind Josh with Richard’s B final time good for 4th overall.
Congratulations to Gavin on winning all the classes. Thanks to James Cleave who
ran the meeting, to Sammy for the catering and to all the others who helped make
it a very enjoyable meeting.
The next 24 BOC is at Pinewood in April.
Chris
Gavin’s Eurosprort winner
Gavin’s car had an extra support over the back axle to stop the body going into the gear in the event of an accident.
