Final update for today, the first bit of race action.
Once the grid was formed up, there was an expectation that RWD cars would (as always) gain a start line advantage.
This turned out to be so, and the running order as the field heads through the first corner is:
Jelley - having made a solid start
Morgan - passed by Jelley on the start, but otherwise holds his position
Oliphant - again making advantage of RWD, and closing on Morgan fast
Neal - a bit slower away than Oliphant, but otherwise solid
Goff,
Plato - slightly slow away and passed by a couple of cars
Ingram,
Moffat - seems to have really got the hang of getting the Q50 away in race trim
Jordan - followed Moffat through a few of the slower starters
Boardley,
Sutton - stabbed rat comes to mind
Smiley, Proctor, Hill - all passed by RWD cars off the line in the middle of the field bunching
Neate,
Cook,
Cammish,
Hamilton,
Butcher,
O.Jackson,
Bushell,
Gornall,
Chilton,
Turkington - another to benefit from RWD, making up 3 places before the first turn
Crees,
M.Jackson,
Osborne - seemed to get bogged down a bit
Thompson and finally Rowbottom bringing up the rear.
