Just a quick rundown of events for now: full reports in due course.

Shaun Balfe looked very dominant in the opening phase of the GTO race, pulling away strongly from…Steven Brady in the Ultima and Shane Lynch in the Eclipse TVR. The Irishman eventually found a way round the quick Ultima, by which time Balfe was seventeen seconds up the road. Tom Herridge was 20 seconds behind the leader at this point, and pitted at 20 minutes.

A lightning stop for the red and white Mosler meant an even bigger margin when Jamie Derbyshire eventually took over, but he was almost immediately in trouble with a difficult downshift. That set up a great chase from Piers Johnson, with the TVR looking favourite to pass the Mosler before the 60 minutes were up. But the Mosler then had a throttle cable breakage, and pulled off at Old Hall.

Piers Johnson kept piling it on, and Martin Short knew he couldn’t pull back over 20 seconds, and so settled for second place. The Ultima deserved third, but was hampered by a loose wheel, which then came loose again under Aaron Scott, causing the car’s retirement. Brady and Scott put on a very impressive performance all weekend.

A dominant Cup Class win (and fourth position overall!) from the Patrick Pearce / Matt Griffin #76 GruppeM Tech 9 Porsche gives the young pair a dominant lead in the championship.

Neil Cunningham combined well with new co-driver Adam Sharpe to secure a distant but solid second place in the #66 Richard Thorne Motorsport Morgan Aero 8, with Hector Lester and Ivor Mairs next up in the #42 Glenvarigill Ferrari 360.

Behind these there was a real battle royal with up to six cars duelling hard for class position at times. The GulfAir Golf came home at the head of this group.
