Jamie Chadwick Series - Round Five
Daytona Tamworth
There was a light threat of rain as the Jamie Chadwick Series returned to Daytona Tamworth for Round Five of the season. All four classes are in full swing at this stage of the year, and anticipation was high for what the round might bring.
In the Junior class, Megan Gascoyne delivered a commanding victory ahead of Sarah Telford and Milena Clark. It was a hard-fought battle between the latter two, but Telford ultimately managed to snatch second place.
In the Cadets, it was a superb performance from Tamworth InKart driver Jess Kirby, who claimed a dominant win after the 25-minute A-Final. Lily Catignon, considered by many to be the favourite heading into the race, just didn’t have quite enough to get the better of Kirby, and settled for second. They were joined on the podium by Phoebe Shelton, who took her first podium finish of the season.
In the Four-Strokes, it was another excellent round for Championship leader Zoe Cattet, who secured yet another class victory, something she’s made a habit of throughout the season. Cattet earned a further one hundred points, continuing her remarkable run. She was joined on the podium by Holly Garrat, whose consistent high finishes across the two races earned her second place. Chloe Smith completed the podium, just a few points behind.
In the Intermediate class, Amelia Charlesworth enjoyed a clean sweep with two race victories and the full one hundred points from the round. It was a significant result in the context of the Championship fight. However, Chloe McNally did well to limit the damage by finishing in second, only a few points adrift. Lena Reading took third place to round out the podium.
In the Two Stroke Lightweights, a thrilling battle between Hope Wood and Iris Creese set the tone for the round. It culminated in dramatic fashion in the final Race, where Creese pulled off a brave move at the final corner to take the victory. However, despite that final win, it wasn’t quite enough to secure the overall round. That honour went to Wood, thanks to her stronger results earlier in the day. Creese finished as the round runner-up, while consistent finishes from Emma Rabbage earned her the final spot on the podium.
In the Intermediate category, it was Eliza York who took the overall victory.
