3rd April
Harry Simpson made the perfect start to the 2016 season, pole position in qualifying and two race wins. The Ginetta G4R driver coped best with changeable weather conditions, heading the Porsche 911 of Raymond Boyd in both races. Another Porsche 911, driven by last year’s champion, Stan Bernard,
was third in race one and fourth in race two.
Tommy Gilmartin, Morgan +8, tried to keep up with Simpson in race one, but his exuberance led to a race-ending visit to the gravel at Clark corner on lap seven.
Starting at the back of the grid in race two, he managed to climb to third place.
A welcome addition to the championship were two new drivers:
Max Horne – Lotus Cortina and Andrew Graham – Triumph TR7V8.
Several drivers were unable to race due to mechanical problems – hopefully a
larger number will attend the next event on May 1st.
