Beautiful weather greeted the competitors for a round of the Super 1 Championship at Rowrah in Cumbria over the weekend. After five wet meetings from the last six, race day on Sunday made it two dry races in a row. Cumbrian weather will have to be careful - I might need sun-cream..!

Superb racing, spoiled only by the odd pedantic protest, came from all four classes, with Mark Litchfield reigning supreme in Formula SKF. The PF International entered former British Champion was untouchable - fastest in timed qualifying, winner of both heats, and winner of both finals. A boring day at the office for Mark.

Jacob Nortoft in KF2 continued his winning ways from his race win at Genk in Belgium a few weeks ago, when he took control of his class for a well-deserved victory. The junior KF3 category meanwhile fell to the Racing Steps Foundation supported youngster, Jake Dennis, whose international experience in 2010 is clearly being put to good use on home turf.

And finally in Cadets it was Tom Harvey who showed he could sustain serious pressure from his rivals, when he kept all and sundry at bay on his way to the chequered flag, to maintain his Series points lead.

The drive of the race though came from Dylon Phibbs in KF3, where after a disaster in timed qualifying, and two similar 'disasters' in his heats, meant he was confined to a low grid slot. To then be able to care his way up the running order, reaching 6th place by the flag in the main final, as he put pressure on the driver immediately ahead of him, was quite impressive stuff. Another lap or two and 5th place was on the cards. The young racer just needs to start from the front now...
