GKL - Round 6: Shennington

Round 6 of Global Karting League for DBU Academy Drivers!

Round 6 at Shennington saw Sienna, Nathan and Aaron participate from the DBU driver Academy. The narrow and technical nature of the track provided some great racing with a full grid. The first corner, the hairpin and over zealous driving also brought out the ambulance at least a couple of times on race day. Thankfully everyone was ok. For qualifying, Sienna dominated and finished a very respectable 11th, noting the top 10 drivers were within half a second. Aaron and Nathan qualified 13th and 18th respectively.

There was no time to set a good time for any of the drivers for the pre-final due to numerous incidents, hence the qualifying positions became the positions for the final.

There was a lot of drama during lap 1, and Aaron was taken out in the first corner of the race, Sienna and Nathan were taken out at the second corner. Aaron managed to recover quickly and chased the pack, Sienna and Nathan followed and had multiple close battles during the race. The race was stopped due to an accident and the red flag was brought out. 

The final positions were awarded based on the position set in the previous lap prior to the red flag. Aaron managed to finish in 8th place in the end with Sienna and Nathan finishing 14th and 15th respectively.
