Round 8 \u2013 Club Enduro \u2013 Silverstone GP<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In what\u2019s been a season that\u2019s had its fair share of ups and downs for us, we headed back to Silverstone for the final round of the Tegiwa Club Enduro Championship<\/strong>. Hoping to head home with the title, we knew that we had to win the race to be in with a real shot of achieving this.<\/p>\n

Qualifying<\/h4>\n

To put us in the best possible position for the race later that afternoon we headed into qualifying hoping that we could claim pole position, but with an incredible 67 cars on the track trying to set the quickest times it just wasn\u2019t to be. Dave\u2019s best lap saw him forever running into traffic, unable to set a proper flying lap. We did end up on the second row of the grid though, with a time of 2.26.79 enough to see us secure third place.<\/p>\n

Make or break time<\/h4>\n

Hopeful to pull off one of his notoriously quick starts and get us into the lead, Luke headed out for the first stint of the race.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Although he didn\u2019t manage to make a move on the Area Motorsport Leon TCR that started in pole position, Luke did manage to get ahead of Joe Taylor\u2019s Elise, which was fantastic for us as we knew we had to finish the race above him to be in with any shout of bringing home the title.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Try as Luke might, there was simply no catching the Area Motorsport team in their Leon. Rob and Carl were putting in decent lap times and built a very healthy lead over the rest of the opposition.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We knew that the race might be won or lost on strategy, so Luke stayed in the car for as long as possible so that we could try and build a good margin over Area as they came into the pits after about an hour. Although we were in the lead for a good amount of time, we knew that both ourselves and Joe still had to make our mandatory 3-minute stop, in which time Area were able to regain the lead.<\/p>\n
