Impressive results in Arrive Drive racing

Our new arrive drive racing programme had a spectacular weekend bringing in some impressive results with a total of 6 trophies from 6 races at Castle Combe (Westfield Sportscar Championship) and Snetterton (Lotus On Track Elise Trophy).

A fuel mix up resulted in the Lotus Elise running 1.5kgs under weight in qualifying relegating track club member Marcus Jewell to the back of the grid for the race start a position he shared with a number of others caught out in the same way.

Marcus put together a magnificent drive that took him from 29th on the grid straight to the podium having finished 3rd. Marcus then showed that this was no accident and went on to take Class A victory in the second race later on in the afteroon; that's yet another trophy to add to his collection then.

Even better results were obtained by another track club member, Adrian Mardlin, driving our brand new Lotus 2-Eleven. Qualifying 4th overall demonstrating talent allowing him to mix with the majority of the faster Class C cars he then went on to win the 2-Eleven class in both races.

Both Marcus and Adrain will be appearing on Motors TV soon.

A logistically challenging weekend found Ben Elliot racing our Westfield Aerorace, a car that has won its class at every round of the championship at the hands of 3 different drivers, at Castle Combe. Racing against the faster Class B cars Ben had a couple of titanic battles eventually overcoming EVO magazines Roger Green in another Class B car and actually getting an overall podium in both races.

So the executive summary then; Five class wins and six podiums from a single weekend of racing meaning a few celebrations were in order.

The team is now looking ahead to the next round of the Westfield series at Donington Park in early August and then the Elise S1 and 2-Eleven head to Cadwell for round 7 of the Elise Trophy series on the 17th of August.
