HRCMCC Spring Circuit Championship Round 8
Race Report
Round 8 of our championship saw extremely close and clean racing from all of our drivers. We had a visit from the BattCave boys or Matthew Smithson RC and Shaun Batt and also a visit from LMP national driver Richard Sodeau . The track layout consisted of a tight and technical first section backed up with a faster flowing section towards the end of the lap . The club's new Bluetooth speakers recently installed by Club Chairman Adam Mackman provided great and clear audio for all of our drivers . The club's decision to go fully Bluetooth will reduce the amount of wires and reduce the chance of interference .
In the minis . Matthew Smithson and Shaun batt took on some of the clubs top drivers . Such as Daniel Burks , Aiden Monk , Jamie Wicks (who has recently started racing minis at the club) and Andrew Wattam who has recently made his return to racing. Matthew and Shaun took the 1-2 with Dan and Aiden in 3rd and 4th . While Jamie and Andy took the two remaining positions. In the B-final the battle was between the two of Leo and Steve .
