There were plenty of thrills and spills during a mixed weekend of weather for the Silverstone MotorSport Vision Racing meeting as the most spectacular action came from the Pickups – which produced thunderous noise and close racing across two heats and a final.
Ryan Hadfield led most of heat one, with Dale Gent keeping him honest until retiring with a broken driveshaft. Matthew Simpson and Aaron Thompson moved into contention in the race’s second half, with Thompson taking victory ahead of Hadfield after Simpson was handed a five-second penalty for exceeding track limits. Gent bounced back to win heat two, with Hadfield again a close second, while Thompson lost out in a fierce scrap for third with Simpson after a lairy moment on the grass.
