Donington Race Report

The 750 Motor Club finals weekend took place at Donington Park with a busy 24 race programme which was action-filled.

Race 1

Jeff Humphries got off the line quickly in the opening K-Tec Racing Clio 182 Series race but went sideways at Redgate allowing Matt Fincham and Patrick Fletcher through. ‚ On the fourth circuit Fincham was caught out by the slippery track and Fletcher took the lead. ‚ The pair were nose-to-tail in the closing stages with Fincham overhauling the former Stock Hatch champion with 50 metres to go. Ed Pead, who won 17 times in the Clio Cup, started from the back and clawed him way up into the top five on the final lap.

Race 2

Humphries led every lap of the second encounter after seeing off various different challenges. ‚ Pete Morgan battled Humphries at the beginning and end of the race but could never pass him. ‚ Matt Digby was able to overhaul Humphries but as soon as he did, he lost his wheel and his Clio fell onto its side. ‚ Patrick Fletcher joined in the battle for the lead and finished third but only 0.5 seconds off of the victory.
