Championship Standings after 12 rounds of the Freetsyle Motorsport Lotus 7 Club Speed Championship

Currently 3 competitors on 700 points for 7 wins: Andrew Willoughby, Matthew Jenkins and Richard Price. Richard and Andrew both have an additional 8^th win but Richard is leading based upon his performance against class records (at specific venues) which is the tie breaker. The only other competitors that could challenge for the overall championship are Chris Howard-Harris, Simon Rogers and Mike Sankey. With only class record bonus points available at the next round Wiscombe, all these contenders will be looking to have to break those records.

However to challenge Richard at the top Mike needs to also win all remaining 3 rounds, Chris & Simon 2 out of 3 and Matthew needs another 100 score for a win.

It is still a 2 horse race between Lynn Gilbert (476.92) and Suzanne Gibson(473.81). Lynn having increased the gap by half a point at the Aintree event.

Tom Price (497.32) after another strong performance at Aintree is the 2010 novice champion, as neither David Dowson (480.02) and Chris Bramall (467.65) can catch him now.

Andrew Willoughby is the class 1 champion for 2010. Alastair Gibbins (695.38) looks to have done enough for runners up spot, 3^rd place looks like a battle between Alan Johnson (681.80) and Paul Brown (678.83)

Matthew Jenkins is the class 2 champion for 2010, to add to his 2 previous class 1 championships in 2006 and 2007. 2^nd and 3^rd place looks a 3 way fight between Graham Howard (690.18), Robert Spencer (688.66) and Alan Bowler (589. 45 from 6 events)

Richard Price is the class 3 champion for 2010, to add to his 2 previous class 2 championships in 2006 and 2009. There is a 4 way battle for the runners up positions between Michael Calvert (696.22), Jeff Smith (695.37), Mark Gibson (693.72) and Matthew Willoughby (693.03). All but Michael gained points after Aintree and the pressure is on.

This is still a battle between Chris Howard-Harris (699.94) and Mike Sankey (698.76) with Mike gaining nearly a point on Chris after winning at Aintree. Mike still needs to be looking at winning all 3 remaining events. Neither Paul Forster (686.11) or Stuart Miller (678.93) went to Aintree and the battle for 3^rd continues, Stuart could still get that spot with a strong finish as he has some low scores to drop.

Even though Simon Rogers (699.93) didn t attend Aintree he is now confirmed as the 2010 Class 5 Champion to make it a hat-trick of class 5 titles, due to Mark Durrant(694.41) failing to take the vital win he needed to keep his championship aspirations alive. The battle for 2^nd and 3^rd is between Mark, Adrian Williams (697.72) and possibly Rob Grigsby (692.87) who was the winner at Aintree.

As no competitor will be able to complete 7 rounds this year there will be no Class 6 champion for 2010.
