Salem made a mistake on his out lap running off the track and rejoining just ahead of Vyacheslav Potapenko. With Salem the first to complete a lap with a 1:08.049, he was quickly beaten by Oscar Williams, Arttu Nieminen but was a very respectable 3rd ahead of Richard Tippet. Roel Postma came sliding off the track as he attempted his first flying lap, then applied too much throttle and spun the car around when rejoining and then had another spin at the hairpin. As predicted most drivers opted to do at least 2 hot laps continuously as tyre and fuel consumption on the track was very low. Patrik Trefny made a small mistake and ran wide into turn 1 but recovered the car nicely. Martijn Van T Land improved his time to nip ahead of Salem who had improved his own time but dropped to 4th just ahead of Jack Smith. With Jack pushing hard he came across a slowing Rob Milliken mid corner and the pair made contact, sending Milliken sliding backwards into the gravel trap and Smith losing out on his lap having to abort to the pits. Tippet was in 6th and the first driver not in the 1:07's made a very fast stop for refuelling and new rubber and set back out with just under 5 minutes left in Qualifying. Postma having recovered from his earlier spins put his car in a respectable 7th position before Potapenko toppled him with a 1:08.657, but Postma would clinch it back from Potapenko with his lap of 1:08.622. Tippet had improved his lap to a 1:07.944 which wasn't good enough to improve his position. Williams lined up on pole with a blistering 1:07.339, very closely followed by Nieminen with a 1:07.392. Van T Land slotted in front of Smith the pair with 1:07.757 and 1:07.781 respectively. Salem rounded off the top 5 with his time of a 1:07.815. The Top 6 drivers all managing to get into the 1:07's. Trefny lined up 9th behind Potapenko but ahead of Rob Milliken. Top 3: Oscar Williams Arttu Nieminen Martijn Van T Land R1 With barely enough time to take a sharp intake of breath Race 1 was underway. Everyone was clean off the grid and the drag race down the long straight to Turn 1 saw some very close wheel to wheel action. As the top 5 swept through the first real corner of the track, Postma out braked himself and ran off the track. Tippet avoiding the car down his inside took a more inside line to try and avoid Postma who had planted his throttle and was now sliding towards the inside line on the circuit. Tippet nearly avoided contact but was tagged on this rear as Postma powered back onto the racing line. This sent Tippet crashing off the track towards the tyres but was able to recover. Postma had now ended up right on the racing line, directly in front of Potapenko who could nothing to avoid and hit Postma hard and pitching Potapenko into the paths of Trefny and Milliken who both managed to avoid any contact. Williams tried for an overtake at the hairpin on Nieminen, going down the inside, Smith, caught out by the speed difference nudged Williams into a spin. Tippet rejoining the track behind Potapenko tucked up under his rear wing and in an almost carbon copy move of the Williams/Smith collision, was caught out by the speed difference into the hairpin, collecting the rear end of Potapenko and sending both drivers off the track. Milliken snuck past ahead of Tippet. Going into Lap 3 Trefny had picked through a lot of the carnage and was now running a strong 4th. Tippet tried to make a move on Milliken using the slipstream down the straight, he Took the outside line only for Milliken ti slam the door hard on him and the pair made contact, luckily both remained pointing in the same direction with not a lot of time lost. Tippet would have to wait another Lap before crawling all over the rear of Milliken and then sliding down the inside of him at the hairpin, the two battled side by side for several corners as Milliken refused to yield but with great respect for each other. Tippet got past and set off down the road. Trefny was now being caught quickly by Williams and Smith for 4th place. Williams managed to slip down the inside at the hairpin, clipping the inside curb slightly, brushing wheels with Trefny but getting by. Potapenko ran onto the curb coming out of Turn 2, hitting a bump his car became airborne, but he continued on unaffected by his air time as he chased after Postma. Trefny under increasing pressure was unable to defend from Smith as they throttled down the straight, with Smith streaming past and into 5th. Trefny had a major spin coming off the exit of the hairpin allowing Tippet to grab 6th. As the battle for 8th heated up between Milliken and Postma, Potapenko was able to close the gap to them as the race entered the final 5 minutes. Postma found his way past Milliken eventually. Up front Nieminen was having a very relaxed race, controlling the pack with Van T land and Salem comfortably in 2nd and 3rd. Potapenko made a daring move on Milliken, forcing the latter into a huge mistake and off the track and into the scenery and last place. The final 3 laps the positions remained the same which saw Nieminen picking up another win, Van T Land second and Salem in a solid 3rd. Top3: Arttu Nieminen Martijn Van T Land Sammy Salem Reverse grid mayhem time again for race 2, Milliken started on pole and had a poor getaway compared to the cars around him, with Potapenko and Postma getting less wheel spin and all three were side by side down the straight. Postma moved to avoid hitting Milliken but drove into the side pod of Potapenko, sending him spinning in front of the entire field. Smith managed to avoid any contact by threading the needle of narrowest gaps, promoting him into 3rd, Tippet similarly took action and just managed to get through on the outside. Unfortunately for Williams, he was collected by Potapenkos sliding car, as both were just passengers going towards the scene of the accident, with, Van T Land, Salem and Trefny having to avoid and all three taking to the gravel and grass. Milliken led Tippet and Smith into Turn 1 and 2, Tippet backed off slightly to let Smith pass and Nieminen took advantage and snuck in front of Tippet. As they all entered the hairpin, Tippet was caught out by the slow exit of Nieminen and tapped him into a spin, which sadly ruined Nieminen's race as he became beached on the inside curb and had to return to pit. Tippet immediately backed off, hoping that Nieminen would retake the place not knowing that he had become stuck, Van T Land overtook Tippet who picked up his speed again to carry on. Smith managed to slip one down the inside of the hard but very well and fairly defending Milliken for the lead on lap 2. Milliken tucked in close to Smiths' wing and did his best to keep pace with the lead car. Salem and Williams had caught up to the back of Tippet who was running 4th and closing in on Milliken. Van T Land had taken 2nd but had been unable to get past Milliken for almost 4 laps which had let Smith build a good lead. Salem and Williams managed to pass Tippet. Going into Lap 6 Smith had a strange connection issue which catapulted his car into the barrier and with so much damage he was forced to retire, promoting Van T Land into the lead and Milliken still running an impressive 2nd. Milliken defended from a charge from Salem which also allowed Williams to have a look around the outside of Salem into Turn 1. with both drivers locking a wheel it was Williams who got better traction out of turn 2 and went to go around the outside of Salem in turn 5. Making minor contact Williams slotted into 3rd and Tippet drove around the outside cleanly to take 4th as Postma dropped down to 5th. Williams then took 2nd from Milliken and began to stretch the cars legs. Tippet tried to make a move on Milliken but would have to wait until the next lap, again going side by side all the way down the straight and eventually past into turn 1 and 2. Milliken couldn't hold the car and spun around and ended up down in 8th. Salem harassing Tippet all the way around the track was unable to get past as Tippet defended well against the much quicker car. Salem missed his braking point into turn 1 on lap 10 and had to avoid going into the rear of Tippet. clipping the barrier he dropped down to 6th. Milliken's issues continued as he had a minor spin into some gravel but was able to continue on but with only Nieminen behind him. Trefny ran very wide on the exit of the last corner on lap 11 which dropped him down behind Potapenko who was running 6th. Williams continued to eat into Van T Land's lead up ahead and with one lap to go, the lap was under a second. Van T Land made a mistake coming out of Turn 2, running onto the curb and sliding across the track and losing 1st to Williams. Tippet managed to salvage 3rd but was very much under pressure all the way from Salem. Top3: Oscar Williams Martijn Van T Land Richard Tippet
