So Mr Rivett, can you do it for us? Perhaps we can start some betting... would love to race you again but the old girl isn't up to it, and I don't want to spend the race looking at your rear end!
From what I remember you're pretty handy around there... |

Apart from Matt theres a lot of names that are good and more that I dont recognise, who else is a front runner and capable of giving Matt a run for his money. David Male, Gavin Wills (is that the same that is the ex combe champ?) who else?

I notice Mr Wills is out in his 94 Kent winning Swift, I wonder if he can do it again. What other former winners are out there? get ready for some desperate driving - luckily Im being Godfather up in Debyshire so should be just out of reach of the debris !!

Will MST have results on their site today? or is there somewhere that I can get up-to-date info as the day passes by? Any official test times?

Times are on MST as per (strangely only the Zetecs so far and none of the support formulae that should by now have qualified).
Westley Barber, Richard Goransson and Jan Heylen have claimed pole for the three heats. As far as I know these should only settle grid positions for the semis: only 54 cars qualified which I think (?) is fewer than double than what is on the track licence. |

A big congratulations to Dave Fricker, and all the students from the University of Central Lancashire involved in running the UCLAN Racing team, winners of the "Kent to do King of Kents 2002!" This weekend was my first taste of watching proper FF1600 racing, and I totally understand when people say that racing was much better in the old days, before the Zetecs! What an absolutely brilliant bunch of races! |

King of Kents is what FF racing is all about. Good racing, plenty of action and close. Mind you the Historics produced some fantastic racing as well. Enjoyed both of thse more than the Zetecs.

I'm just wondering if that's the first time anyone has *ever* been proud of University of Central Lancs! Well done to Dave Fricker - a surprise winner indeed.

Bet he's well chuffed! Just shows people how exciting and unpredictable FF can be.Good weekend racing apart from some poor driving which spoilt it for some. Spose you have to expect it at this level. Alot of people have commented on have the kents were proper racing with some great overtakes. I know I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and meet lots of friendly people.

I would also like to offer many congratulations to my old sparring partner from last season, well done Dave Fricker! His car control and consistent speed dominated the Kent final giving him a well earned win.

 Click here to download the video. MPEG1, any Windows Media Player can play it. |

Shame I couldn't have been in it it pretty much summed up my year I guess, was good to only be 2 tenths off David Male (in the 01 Van Diemen) in the heat though having not been to the circuit for 2 years and not tested.
well done to Dave F though he seemed to just get his head down and drive away from the others, staying out of trouble was a bonus as well!! Matt |
