Photo by Tony Else Round 5 of the Darley Moor club championships took place on Saturday 20th July. Despite the 30+ degree temperatures that England was experiencing on the run-up to the meeting, we were greeted with an overcast sky and temperature of circa 22 degrees - much more manageable weather for racing in!
As expected, the track conditions were dry all day. In the Formula Darley qualifying session I needed to scrub in some new tyres and bed in new some brake pads, which took a few laps; but managed to qualify 3rd in class. In the following Mini Sound of Thunder qualifying session, I managed to go one better to qualify 2nd in class.

Overall, the event was fairly uneventful for me, with the lonely races and no machine troubles - but I managed to secure some decent championship points and am still sitting in 2nd place in both the Formula Darley and Mini Sound of Thunder standings after five of the eight championship rounds:
