2015 Cadwell Race Report

The K-Tec Racing Clio 182s bought a 25 car grid to the Lincolnshire Wolds for rounds 5 & 6 of the championship.  In qualifying James Bark exploited his local knowledge to secure pole, some 0.7 seconds faster than Matt Digby.  The rest of the frontrunners were more evenly matched with Phillip Wright, Patrick Fletcher and fellow ex-Stock Hatch driver Nick Carter split by a scant 0.03 seconds.

Round 5

Unusually for the Clio 182 Championship, the race was a largely processional affair, Bark lead throughout extending the gap over Matt Digby to three seconds by the end of the race.  Fletcher completed the podium having taken third place from Phillip Wright on the opening lap.

Round 6

Race two saw Bark repeat his dominance, the Alford driver finishing over two seconds ahead of Patrick Fletcher who jumped Matt Digby in the opening stages of the race.  Pete Morgan enjoyed his best race of the year rising to fourth place having started sixth.  Andrew Tibbs who had been leading the championship on arrival at Cadwell struggled once again finishing 14 seconds down on the race winner in sixth behind the ever consistent Wright.

Tony HOBSON : Number 33 : Race 2 Crash

Missed a gear coming out of Park corner.‚  Drifted wide at Chris Curves and both my outside wheels were on the grass at about 75mph.‚  I was controlling the drift OK until I ran over an access road. This bounced the back of the car up into the air and set me onto a course to the barriers.‚  At this point I was a passenger, just waiting for the bang.

And the bang did come..!

I hit the drivers side of the car square on. The GPS recorded the impact over 6G at 55mph. All I can say is that I¢â‚¬â„¢m glad the tyres were in front of the barrier and the car¢â‚¬â„¢s safety equipment did it¢â‚¬â„¢s job and I walked away¢â‚¬¦
