Heat One
Dan Rodde began Sunday’s first Super ICC heat on pole position, ahead of Jake Rosenzweig, Daniel Borton and Nik Goodfellow, with Jack Hawksworth sixth, Tom Hibbert seventh, Nigel Moore eighth and Frank Wrathall – joining the fray following a successful maiden Ginetta outing at
Oulton Park the previous day – down at the back of the grid.
The unfortunate Goodfellow did not even make it around to the start, however, pulling off with mechanical gremlins on the parade lap. Hibbert was the biggest mover when the lights went out, darting through the pack into third position behind Borton and Rodde, but in line with much of the rest of his weekend the Grantham ace would come unstuck later around the opening lap as he got pushed sideways across the grass and down to the rear of the field with it all to do over again.
This promoted Rosenzweig and Saturday final winner James Mudd up into third and fourth, and as Borton slowly began to pull away Rodde went in the other direction, falling behind Rosenzweig and a charging Wrathall – clearly finding the switch-over from cars to karts no obstacle at all – with Moore and Mudd also in close attendance behind.
Moore would be the next to successfully attack Rodde, while Wrathall was clearly a man on a mission, relieving Rosenzweig of his second place and setting off in rapid pursuit of the race leader ahead. Inexorably reducing the gap to Borton in front, the scrap for supremacy would soon become a four-way battle between Borton, Wrathall, Rosenzweig and Moore, with Rodde, a recovering Hibbert and Hawksworth next in line.
By the end of lap six Wrathall had made the lead his own, ultimately going on to prevail by more than half a second and with fastest lap to his credit for good measure. Borton just held off the advances of Rosenzweig and Moore for second, with Hibbert and Hawksworth both managing to sneak past Saturday podium finalist Rodde in the closing stages for fifth and sixth.
Heat Two
Hibbert started the second heat of the day on pole position – clearly determined to turn his weekend around – with Moore and Mudd alongside on the front row of the grid, then Wrathall on row two, Borton eighth and Hawksworth right at the back.
