Race 2 - Buggy: Stokes Takes the Win After a Hard-Fought Battle
What a race we just witnessed in the Buggy class for Round 6 of the Summer Championship! Nick Stokes has emerged victorious, but it certainly wasn't a lights-to-flag affair. Ian Foxwell put up a serious challenge, taking the lead on lap 2 and again on lap 10, only for Stokes to fight back each time. Stokes ultimately regained the lead for good on lap 16 and held on to complete 29 laps, crossing the line just ahead of Foxwell who finished a strong second with 28 laps.
Ben Clark brought his buggy home in third place, completing 25 laps. He spent most of the race in third position after moving up from fourth on lap 3. Holly Weaver was running well and maintained fourth for much of the race, but ended up completing 22 laps. Peter McKerrow rounded out the finishers in fifth, completing 20 laps. Tom Jones unfortunately didn't record any laps.
Nick Stokes also set the fastest lap of the race with an impressive 9.700 seconds, showcasing his pace throughout the event. A truly exciting encounter for all the Sevenoaks Model Car Club members watching!
