Johnson on form again in British Cadet Championship

Astonishing speed through the heats built Roy Johnson’s foundation for a winning strategy, despite a major setback in a heat when a lunge by Haz Truelove set him spinning over the grass. Truelove was immediately black-flagged, leaving Johnson in nineteenth to fight back to tenth and still earning second spot on the final grid, Truelove languishing in twenty-second.

Scottish Champion Charlie Robertson had no such bothers, earning pole position whilst a clash in a heat set defending champion Brett Wykes down to grid thirteen. Macaulay Austin had his brief moment of glory, leading the final until Johnson snatched it at the end of the first lap, Robertson following through and working with his Fusion team-mate to pull a handy cushion.

Wykes rapidly scythed up to third, and was quick to regain the place from George Russell when he hit a kerb and lost time. James Armitage conceded fifth to Sam Webster after a spot of grass-cutting, Truelove reaching sixth before drifting back to eighth.

Robertson’s one final attempt at the win came to nought, as he explained: “I tried to do the cut back but I took too much speed into the corner, slid a little wide and lost speed.”
