It was another frustrating day for the reigning Inters champions as they again struggled for pace and managed only 5th in the Clubman race and 14th overall.
For once the team didn’t need to change their kart in practice but did need work doing to repair a rear wheel bearing that had worked loose.
It was again decided to let Eddie qualify and, as at Bayford, it highlighted the lack of pace as the team lined up a lowly 20th out of 24, although Eddie admitted to making a couple of minor errors on both flying laps.
Stephen started the race and immediately made up ground on the karts in front. He was aided by a huge pile-up on the second lap, which took out main championship rivals II2BI and promoted Stephen to 10th overall. It soon became evident that he was struggling, however, as he started to drop back.
Ian Miller took over for the second stint and maintained a solid performance in the mid-field. At this time, II2BI were on a massive charge from the earlier incident, clawing back a 2 lap deficit.
Eddie did the middle stint and it was much of the same. He spent most of the stint in a train of karts, largely with the Premier class teams.
The second half of the race was uneventful. The trio continued to struggle for pace compared to their nearest rivals and II2BI continued to close the gap, finishing just 10 seconds behind at the flag, having clawed their way back from 2 laps behind. |
