You have to applaud the team at Donington Park the venue for our final round of the Toyo Tires/Watchdogapp.com Saloon & GT Championships for managing to get through a full programme of qualifying and racing on Saturday despite twenty-four hours of non-stop torrential rain. If he’d been available Noah would probably have been on pole! With poor visibility and a river running down from Redgate corner to Craner Curves and pooling at the bottom of the Old Hairpin trying to avoid aquaplaning was the order of the day in qualifying. Something Class D front runners Sam Clarke Junior and James Ramm did with good effect only two tenths dividing the two XJ’s to take the front row. Tom Butterfield returning from absence due work commitments did a sterling job in Dave Bye’s glorious Class C XJC for third, Lawrence Coppock an excellent fourth in the Class D XJS. Champion elect Chris Boon was sixth in the Class B XK8, and Simon Dunford leading the Class A cars eleventh in his XJS. Michael Holt and Daniel Stewart relegated unfortunately to the back of the grid for going off while under yellow flags.
