Charlie Ware wins BRCA F345’s

Overcast weather greeted the competitors at the annual BRCA F345’s 4wd Championship at the astro turf track in Silverstone, England. The event was full with 120 drivers and more on the reserve list such is the popularity of the event. At the end of round 1 Charlie Ware was the fastest of the round with the only 14 lapper, he followed this up with another TQ run in the 2nd run and would eventually secure pole position. Other fast drivers were Ashley Caunt and Eugene Galley who would line up 2nd and 3rd on the grid. In A final leg 1, Charlie led and was quickly followed hard on his tail by Ashley, for 4 laps Ashley tried to get past but Charlie defended very well with close controlled driving, eventually Ashley tried a bit too hard and rolled it giving Charlie the gap he needed to cruise to victory with a 14 lapper which proved to be crucial. Leg 2, Charlie rolled it on the 2nd corner and Ashley took the lead only to lose it quickly with Adam Mackman taking the lead and leg win. Leg 3 and with 4 drivers still in the hunt for the overall championship it would a tough one to call. Charlie led for 3 laps and then rolled it with Eugene Galley taking over at the front with Charlie in hot pursuit, despite others trying hard to catch that’s how it finished with Eugene winning and Charlie 2nd in leg 3. Charlie and Eugene were both tied on points but with Charlie having a faster leg win the Championship was Charlie Ware’s. Eugene Galley took 2nd with Adam Mackman in 3rd.
