F1WEEKLY PODCAST NUMBER 599 CLARK AND NASIR WITH YOUR BELGIAN GRAND PRIX RE-CAP

ENAAM CLOSES IN ON TITLE AND F1WEEKLY CONTINUES TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS UP AND COMING YOUNG DRIVER.

Enaam came away from the 6th round of

the abkc s1 championship at Clay Pigeon

in Dorset with mixed emotions, having just

missed out on another victory, but

extending his lead in the Championship

with one round to go…

The 12 year old once again proved his

pace in free practice, regularly topping the

time sheets. In Qualifying Enaam set a

time that would put him P1 but the

session was red flagged as the timing

system failed.

When the session resumed, Enaam got

stuck in traffic and, in the closest

Qualifying session of the year, he found

himself 5th, less than 0.1s off pole.

In his first heat, the Fusion driver had a

carb problem, dropping him to 12th, but

bounced back perfectly to win the next

heat and claim grid 6 for the first final.

Final 1 was dominated by Fusion, with

Enaam and 3 of his team mates pushing

clear of the field. As the laps ticked down,

Enaam bided his time in a comfortable

3rd, before mounting a brave challenge

for victory, going around the outside of

both his team mates at the hairpin. It

nearly came off, but he was squeezed

wide on the exit and forced to settle for

3rd.

In Final 2 Enaam took control of the race

and lead from the 4th lap, until the

penultimate corner when, having defended

hard he came under attack from Alex

Quinn, the pair touched wheels on the exit,

flicking Enaam’s chain off and he was left

to coast across the line 4th. Despite the

disappointment, Enaam extended his

Championship lead to 21 points with one

round to go.

Next Round; Shenington 30th Sept 2012
