Daytona's esteemed SuperChamps Championship returned to Daytona Tamworth for the first round of the Autumn Season on Sunday, 8th October in its Heats format. There was a special guest racing in this round in the form of @Driver61 and @OVERDRIVE.studios Scott Mansell.
The DMAX heats got underway with a very strong victory by Ben Sanders, finishing nearly three seconds ahead of former race-leader Jake Renshaw. Max Housley put in a performance of his own to finish in third, a couple of seconds back from the leaders. Justin Elliot got in amongst the lightweights, finishing in fifth overall but in a comfortable winning position for his class. Greg Chapman finished in second, just two seconds ahead of Stuart Corr in third.
Into the second heat, Ben Sanders carried through his form, carving through the field on this occasion, despite Ben Smiles’ stern resistance. Max Housley continued his consistent form with his second consecutive third of the day. Stuart Corr took victory in the heavyweights, with Steven Humpage a few places overall behind him in second. Brands Hatch Indy lap record holder Scott Mansell finished only slightly behind Steven in third.
Despite 2.6 seconds covering first and second in the final, it was only a further 4 tenths separating the rest of the top 4. Ben Sanders headed a Sanders-family 1-2 with Sodi World Series champion Abi Sanders in second after making an overtake on Jake Renshaw in the closing laps. Jake only finished ahead of fourth-placed Ben Smiles by a couple of tenths, a testament to how close the battle for the podium was. It was not quite the same story in the heavyweights, where Justion Elliot dominated ahead of Stuart Corr. Steven Humpage got the better of Scott Mansell to make up the rest of the heavyweight podium.
