NEW CHAMPIONS ARE CROWNED

With changing conditions, the last round of the 2017 LGM series did not disapoint at PF International. The new X30 Senior champion is Mark Litchfield, in the X30 Junior class is Harry Thompson, Iame Cadet Taylor Barnard and in the Mini X tour Georgi Dimitrov. However non of the champion drivers were able to win at the last round. In X30 senior Oliver Hodgson took the flag only to find he had a nose penualty leaving Archie Tillett to take his maiden win in the LGM, with Owen Byatt a great second, the newly crowned World kart champion Danny Keirle was lying in second place only to have a rare spark plug failure, causing him to retire. The Junior race was a titanic battle with eventual winner Morgan Porter taking his second win of the year having dropped to 10th earlier in the race, Louie Westover followed him home. The Iame Cadet was a two horse afair with Taylor Barnard dominating at the front with Coskun Irfan for company. Irfan made a move and lead part of the race, but Barnard was leading up to the line defending his lead only to find Irfan went around the outside at the finish ahead by a mere 0.03. Probably the best race of the day was the Mini X tour. Georgi Dimitrov, Joseph Taylor and Kai Askey changed places so many times we all lost count. The eventual winner being Askey who drove it home to take the win. A full race report will feature in next months Rivista magazine,
