Qualifying: steep learning curve Qualifying was slow to get underway, maybe it had something to do with the fact that the GP loop is not often used. While the continentals set about learning the track, the seasoned British competitors showed them the way. It was Graham Moss who came out on top in the ex-Voyazides […]
Qualifying: a thrilling finale A largely trouble free qualifying session kicked off SuperSixties 2026. Le Mans veteran Volker Weidler was the first to set a competitive time in the green Falcon, before the Lotus Elans were up to speed, first Christoph Kjaergaard and then Jan van der Kooi. Roelant de Waard was next to jump […]
