Another successful weekend for Harrison at the demanding Croft circuit.  Friday’s two free practise sessions were very productive posting times that would be quick enough for a front row start.

Saturday started well and Harrison posted a very quick time on his first flying lap that was 0.08s faster than the competition.  The Falcon Motorsport Mygale driver was delighted: “My pole lap was something special… I don’t know how I pulled it out. I was a second quicker than I was in testing yesterday. My other laps were also quite quick.” This was the first pole position for the Essex driver and the only driver to achieve a pole other than the Series leader this year to date.

Race 1; Scott’s problems began even before the lights went out as he had difficulties selecting first gear on the green flag lap and got away dead last. Rules stipulate that in such a situation drivers are not permitted to overtake to regain their starting position. Harrison did just that and was duly penalised
with a drive-through penalty, on lap four and leading the race Harrison headed for
a slow drive down pit lane, re-joining last. “I did what was allowed in Karting
making my way safely back to the front of the grid on the rolling up lap but now I know this is not permitted, disappointing but I will not make that mistake again”.

Harrison re-joined last but with his fast pace he soon caught the chasing pack and charged up to eighth by the end of the 20 minute race.

Race 2 was another good showing, from grid position 2 Harrison spent most of the race chasing down championship leader Dan Cammish but finished in 2^nd place taking another scholarship win.

Race 3; Starting from 3^rd on the grid. Harrison passed Maranzana on lap two and set after championship leader Dan Cammish, who extended his lead to 3.3s. But by mid-distance Scott was starting to make inroads into the leader’s advantage, “Half-way through I saw that the gap was closing,” said Harrison, “and the team was giving me signals to keep pushing, but I think by then I had used the best of my tyres in trying to catch him.” Scott finished 2nd at the line for his fourth second-place finish, and his thirteenth Scholarship class victory of the season. “It’s a good result and it shows that we have the potential to win races this year.  Hopefully I can now go away and take a bit of a break and then get some testing in to make sure I come back sharp.”

The teams and drivers now have six weeks to regroup before the championship returns to action at Snetterton at the beginning of August.
