qualifying Robert Lawson 5th (pole in class) Derek Pierce 10th (5th in class) Andrew Herron 11th (6th in class) in the Porsche guest car

Robert Lawson topped pro-am1 qualifying for both races during a session that started wet and improved across the 30-minute duration.
With 19 cars on track, it was a busy session and as the rain stopped the times came down. Late in the session came a red flag when Bob Lyons spun and conditions were even better for a final six-minute rush. However, more yellow flags and then another red flag meant that there were few further improvements.
Lawson (JHR) topped pro-am1 for both races, with an impressive run to fifth overall for round 13 and fourth overall for round 14. "I'm pleased with that," said Lawson. "The track was chalk and cheese before and after the red flag, but on a good lap I came across a spun car at the hairpin and had a half-spin myself."

 

Race 1

The race was all about tyre choice on a wet but drying track and Caine's choice of slicks paid massive dividends as the race progressed. Through to a magnificent second overall and pro-am1 victory came Glynn Geddie, while Glenn McMenamin bagged pro-am2 after a hectic race.

As the race start approached the rain cleared and the track began to dry and the field was split on tyre choice and Caine who was third on the grid gambled on slicks, along with Robert Lawson and Geddie.
Initially, with the slick shod cars making a cautious start as they waited for their slicks to come up to temperature, the leading trio on wets went a long way clear. As early as lap four it was clear that slicks had been the right choice and the track continued to dry over the second half of the race.
While Caine went clear, Geddie and Lawson led the chase as they worked through to second and third overall and battled for pro-am1 victory. They had both driven fine races, coping well on slicks in the early laps before capitalising on their tyre choice. Lawson was frustrated to have lost the pro-am1 lead to Geddie in early traffic. "It was a close call; I was just disappointed with the traffic," said Lawson.

Race 2

On a fully dry track, Robert Lawson was 3rd to conclude a good weekend.
Up to six cars battled furiously for 2nd place, with Lawson trying to fend off Tony Gilham, Charles Bateman, his team-mate Derek Pierce (JHR), Ollie Jackson and Andrew Herron who was in the guest car for this weekend.
Lawson was struggling with an ill-handling car after a knock from Geddie and so it was Gilham who tigered his way to seventh and second in pro-am1, despite a wild ride across the gravel at Duffus Dip. Lawson took third in pro-am1 from Jackson, while Herron and Pierce spun at Duffus after contact, which sent Herron into the tyre wall.
