2013 Welsh Sports & Saloon Car Championship Title Decider by web editor Rob Allender

The 2013 Welsh Sports & Saloon Car Championship reaches its’ climax at Pembrey on Sunday 20^th October, with everything still up grabs!  5 drivers are in contention for the overall title with Chris Morris in pole position with 70 points already scored;  Mike Edgell has 56 points, Keith White has 51 points and Neil Watts & Andy Long have a mathematical chance with 47 points.  A lot depends on the amount of entries in their classes but whilst Chris. Neil & Mike have already used their jokers, Keith & Andy still have their double score Joker card to play. Still Mike, Neil, Keith & Andy will have to win their class in both of the days’ two races, whilst Chris has only to score 15 more points to make all the calculations pointless, if you’ll excuse the pun!  

Keith commented  ”I don’t think I can do it, but I will be going for it!”

Chris in the meantime, will be hedging his bets and will be bringing over several sets of wheels and tyres as his Suzuki Ignis is eligible for 2 classes. “I’ll make a decision on the day on what class to run in, which is why I am bringing over the extra wheels and tyres. The rules allow it, so I will be looking at the options”

Class Operators

In the classes only Keith White (BMW Silhouette, Class D) is secure as his nearest rival, Endaf Evans, cannot outscore him!

In Class AS Mike Edgell and his classic style Mini is virtually tied with Craig Freeman and his modern Mini, and both drivers still have to play their double score Joker cards!

In class BS only 10 points cover Roger Dowden with the Swansea Metropolitan Unis’ Locost for Jon Vamplew and his Westfield, with both drivers also still to play their double score Joker cards.

In Class BT Chris Morris is well in charge and only needs to score 2 points to outscore his class rivals Huw Morgan (Honda) and Giles Beck (BNW). The class runner up spot is still up for grabs with only 1 point separating Huw & Giles , and with Paul Flinders (MR2) in with a mathematical chance!

Class CS may look like the Haverfordwest class with Neil Watts (Westfeild) on 47 points and fellow Westy Jason Davies (Sapphire turbo) on 31 points, with his Joker in hand. However Andy Williams (non-turbo Sapphire)from Risca will be looking to spoil the West Wales party if he can, as he has 30 points and also has his Joker to play!

Finally in Class M Andy Long (Sylva Phoenix) has 14 points lead over Michael Cond ( Slyva Riot) and both still have their Joker cards to play! Michael has been experimenting with different roll-bars. David Lawrence (also Slyva Riot) and Mellisa Lufferelli ( Moto Mini) are also not without chances if either Andy or Mike falter, as they also have their Joker cards to play in what is the closest of the class battles in the 2013 Welsh Sports & Saloon Car Championship.

So there should be a lot to celebrate at the awards night on Saturday 23rd November! Book Now!
