Walsh wins first Elise Trophy race
Funnell and Harvey complete top three
As in qualifying earlier in the day there was no stopping Andrew Walsh, who drove to a lights-to-flag victory ahead of Mark Funnell and David Harvey in the first ever Lotus on Track Elise Trophy race.
Away from the line Harvey and Mark Gooday appeared to get bogged down from second and fourth place on the grid, so Funnell and Sean Bicknell were quick to take advantage and move into second and third place. Harvey soon fought back in his 340R though, snatching third from Bicknell.
Further down the order Malcolm Sanders and Steve Williams became involved in a close battle over sixth place, as David Rowatt became the unlucky first retirement in the series when he pulled his Elise off the track at Clearways in a cloud of smoke. Sanders would become the second of just two retirements when his car suffered a similar fate on lap 11.
After a strong start at the front Walsh managed to pull out a short lead but Funnell was able to close the gap as the duo carved their way through the traffic. Unfortunately for him, after they'd got through the backmarkers Walsh was able to stay ahead to the chequered flag to claim overall victory. Further back Steve Williams took victory in Class B with sixth overall while Gavin Kirby was the highest placed Class A finisher, in 10th.
The most nailbiting finish award went to Nick Kaye, who crossed the line side-by-side with Russell Treasure to claim eighth place by just a single thousandth of second.
