The team continued its recent poor run of form as they struggled home in 20th after a spin from Stephen and a poorly handling kart left them trailing.
Despite getting the kart tested early on in practice they were still not happy with the handling and felt that the engine was running a bit flat.
After their lowly grid slot at Rye, Eddie was elected to qualify but was hampered by limited practice laps when Seth missed the in board for three consecutive laps, and struggling to get to grips with the kart in time, could only manage 23rd out of the 32 entries.
Eddie also started the race and made a good start to pick off a few karts in front and enjoyed a good battle with main rivals II2BI for the first few laps before the race settled down. By the time Eddie came in for the first fuel and driver change the team were up to 13th.
Stephen took over and got involved in an intense battle with Gavin Knight from Jenny Tools Racing. Unfortunately this ended in tears as he went off the circuit at the bottom hairpin, dropping the team down to 22nd place.
With the closeness of the Premier Championship the team were on their back foot and knew they would be hard pressed to make any gains. Ian went out for his first stint and did as good a job as was possible in the poorly handling kart.
As the race entered its second hour, everything settled down. Eddie went out for his second stint and was slightly happier with the handing as both the tyres and track had come up to a decent temperature.
Seth took Stephen’s second stint but seemed to struggle the most with the poorly handling kart, losing out to several karts before being called in slightly early to let Ian take over for the last stint. Again, Ian continued his consistent form and put in a more than solid performance to the chequered flag. |
