Hill House Hammond MSA British Junior Kart Champs

Qualifying: Di Resta 46.83, Love 46.9, Parkes 47.06, Hanley 47.11.

Heat 1: di Resta, Love, Hanley.

Heat 2: Parkes, Wise, Love

Heat 3: di Resta, Parkes, Hanley

Final 1: At the lights Hanley swooped round the outside of di Resta and Parkes but the Scotsman’s superior pace put him ahead again. Hanley became embroiled in a battle with Parkes, Ian Johnstone and Russell Love but his extreme defensive lines later earned him a five place penalty. Parkes retired after a whack up the back. Rodolfo Gonzalez recovered from eighth to snatch third on the last lap from Love, which became second after the judicials. Result: di Resta, Gonzalez, Johnstone, Love, Wise, Walters.

Final 2: di Resta broke away immediately, but this time Russell Love threw off his pursuers and made chase. By mid-race and with a brief kiss of rear wheels, Love had the lead putting di Resta on the defensive from the approaching Jordan Wise. Gonzalez was losing fourth to Ian Johnstone, whilst Ben Hanley barely kept up. All round the last lap di Resta tried his hardest to regain the lead, his eventual desperate move on the defending Russell Love firing the erstwhile leader off violently into the barriers and letting Jordan Wise slip by for the win. Exclusion followed for di Resta, leaving Johnstone second and Gonzalez third.

Result: Wise, Johnstone, Gonzalez, Hanley, Walters, Kirkpatrick.

ABkC Formula Cadet

Heat Wins: Sims, Riki C., Morgan, Dolby. A Final: Craig Dolby and Alexander Sims broke away at the front, the pace too hot for Jeremy Metcalfe who lost the tow and dropped behind Riki Christodoulou. Sims tracked Dolby for lap after lap, then sliced ahead only for Dolby to retake the lead on the last half lap. Freddie Martin-Dye was gutted to finish eighth and lose the chance of the championship because of a down on power engine.

Result: Dolby, Sims, Riki C., Metcalfe, Morgan, Adam C.

ABkC Formula Junior TKM

Heat wins: Oakes, McDonald (x2), Sargent, Keen, Cruttenden.

B Final: Onslow-Cole, Robb, Smith, Curnow.. A Final: Oliver Oakes had a flier of a start, but Paul Wilson reeled him in, took the lead and kept it until the flag. A long way behind, Jonathan Robertson succumbed to George Lovell and Darryl McDonald, but the latter’s nudge induced grassy trip broke up the pack. David Gregory snatched third from Lovell on the last lap, with Mark Sargent in fourth. Provisional Results: Wilson, Oakes, Gregory, Lovell, Sargent, Keen.

ABkC TKM Junior Intermediate

Heat wins: Parsons (x2), Lane, Roe. A Final: Alex Mortimer and Ian Parsons traded the lead for several laps until Luke Johnson came up to join the party. Last lap and Parsons had his nose alongside Mortimer’s kart for the lead but had to drop back, as he slid wide gifting Johnson the win, Mortimer following. Provisional Results: Johnson, Mortimer, Parsons, Roe, Hitch, Ellingham.

Formula Junior Yamaha

Heat Wins: Bean, English, Turvey

A Final: Philip English got his nose up inside the challenging Philip Turvey at the start and never looked back. Turvey was tipped into a spin at the next corner, but made a superb recovery from last to second, ahead of James Bean.

Results: English, Turvey, Bean, Allin, Anderson, Ross.

Trent Tales… Both TKM final results remain provisional subject to detail technical inspection of engine components...
