Morris Lubricants Racing Weekend Round-Up 26-27 June 2021

Ashleigh Morris made her long-awaited return as she competed in the Scottish Rally Championship in the Argyll Stages in Dunoon. After having some short stages around the town centre on Friday evening, Ashleigh had her first closed road event in the lanes around the area over the weekend. Finishing around half way down the leaderboard and improving as the weekend went on, Ashleigh will hope to improve again as she heads to the Lee Holland Stages at Anglesey this weekend, before heading back to Scotland for the next round of the Scottish Rally Championship later in July.

Luke Harris originally had a blank weekend and was looking forward to weekend off racing, but was instead called up to attend the British Masters Qualifier hosted by GTSA Grasstrack Club in the 500cc class. It was a tough ride, but Luke qualified for the British Masters final. Luke now moved onto Sunday's meeting where he will be defending his 350cc Upright British Championship.

Catherine and Thomas Potter had a packed weekend in the Teesside Sprint Series. Catherine continues to build up her strength in a powerful car, as she was the fastest on the track at one point during testing on Saturday. She brought home some silverware as she is currently sitting second in the Teesside Owner Driver 2021 - Junior Rotax Championship 2021. Thomas finished second in both of his first two heats and took home a third place finish in his final heat,  before taking second place in the final. Thomas is currently third in the Cadet Class and just 16 points behind the leader.

Chloe Anna Jones headed to Maeshafen for Round 2 of the Putoline XC Enduro Series. Utilising the first practice day as a chance to toy around with the suspension on her bike, Chloe found a setup that was right for her. During the two and a half hour enduro on Sunday, Chloe had good pace and felt comfortable as she was close to the front of the pack. Unfortunately, she ran wide on a corner which resulted in a crash into a tree, bruising her thigh in the process. She perservered and powered on regardless, with fatigue setting in towards the end, finishing second in her class. Chloe now takes this confidence into her next round of the series in a few weeks time.
