F2 UK Championship Top 3: 183 Charlie Guinchard 3 Liam Rennie 647 Chris Burgoyne A cracker of a race. Early leaders 7 and 992 taken out with a monster hit from 527. Guinchy launches him in the restarted race and sets sail for the victory from a close following Liam. The closing lap sees Jon Palmer fire Micky Brennan in hard to the turn 1 fence. Post race antics from the pair follow with hand signals and a front bumper to front bumper clash 👍

Raymond Gunn Tribute Race Top 3: 277 Jack Grandon 811 Kieran McIvor 207 Greg Honeyman A simply awesome last bender from Timmy Barnes 131 saw him going skywards up the side of the race leading car. The spectacular move ended up taking both out of the reckoning leaving the top 3 to take advantage of the clear track which opened up before them. Another classic finish from the Saloon boys 👍

Saloons UK Championship Top 3 : 800 Barry Russell 349 Michael Allard 730 Deane Mayes Barry kept within range of long time leader Stuart Shevill Jnr 618 for many laps.

The last lap has 191, 16 and 48 going into turn 3 using each other as a brake with a great clash of steel. Easily the best race from the F1's.
