Alex Quinn

Alex Quinn yesterday became the 2013 Little Green Man Series champion and the first to be powered by IAME. P.F. International hosted the last round of the series with only 1 point between the two Fusion Motorsport drivers. Oliver York moved back into the lead after putting his kart on pole position and gaining 3 extra points from the heats, with Quinn on grid 3. The race started with a whole train of drivers following right back to 14th place. York then tried to make a break for it and pulled 10 kart length’s clear. Nextgen driver Kiern Jewiss, William Pettitt, AIM Motorsport driver Dexter Patterson and Quinn, worked together and bridged the gap back to York and clear of the pack. Quinn picked off one by one until he was back with York, Jewiss & Pettitt both saying after, they wanted to stay clear of the two so they could race between themselves. On the last lap a titanic battle for lead pursed, Quinn went all the way around York down the main straight, but York managed to get it back under the bridge and went in to compete defence mode. He was so slow on the first air pin with Quinn behind, that Jewiss drove all the way around the outside of them both to take the lead !

York dived into the second air pin retaking the lead, but on the exit it was four karts along side one another, Quinn was on the inside and York closed the gap forcing them both on to the grass, York was O.K. Pettitt got the better of Jewiss, Quinn recovered from the grass. Over the line it was York, Pettitt, Jewiss with Quinn a distance 4th. Post race stewards declared York to have a unfair advantage and awarded a 5 place penalty, this allowing Quinn to win the series by 2 points. The presentation was delayed until the awards dinner. Quinn becomes the 12th LGM champion, with York 2nd, Pettitt 3rd, with Tom Wood 4th.

William Pettitt

Round 7, William Pettitt had his first Little Green Man round win at the Kimbolton circuit making him the fifth different driver to win this year. In the sunshine, Pettitt started from pole, after the set of heats, and lead into the first corner, the Fusion team mates of Oliver York and Zac Robertson managing to find there way around Dextor Patterson on the opening lap, and push past Tom Wood. These three worked together and quickly pulled a gap, away pursuing pack, now headed by Albert Carter. Alex Quinn quietly moved his way through, taking other drivers one by one after a relatively poor start by his standards, hot on his tail was leading privateer Tyler Chesterton. Once these three had reached the front of the battle for 4th place, Carter slowly fell away down the order, with Quinn moving past Wood, these pair pulled clear of the rest. York then past Pettitt for the lead, but Robertson stuck with it and pushed on in 3rd.  Lap 13 saw Jonny Edgar fall down the order after lying a strong 6th. On to the last lap and with a final try, York’s manoeuvre but didn’t quite pay off as Robertson found his way through.

2nd ZAC ROBERTSON | 1st WILLIAM PETTITT | 3rd OLIVER YORK

So at the line, with both arms in the air, it was Pettitt taking his first LGM win, followed by Robertson who scored his first ever podium and York 3rd.  AIM motorsport driver, Tom Wood got the better of Quinn on the last lap, to come home in 4th and 5th respectively.  Teddy Wilson after his short break and a change of team finished 6th, with the leading privateer Chesterton 7th, and a superb privateer effort from Toby Stevenson to finish 8th. Oliver York now pulls clear on the points table, but on drop scores, Quinn leads by 1 point !. Its now all down to wire and the last round at P.F. International, who is going to be crowned the 2013 LGM Champion!

After leading the LGM series, it has taken six rounds before ‘Mr Consistence’ Oliver York stood on the top step of the podium. Round 6 at the Shenington circuit saw nearly 50 drivers take part in the UK’s biggest cadet only series. The man on form, Alex Quinn scored yet another pole position, but after leading most of the race, York found away passed with five laps to go, a lead he then never lost. Behind the leading two was quite a gap, Tom Wood managed to get the better of Kiern Jewiss for 3rd & 4th respectively, then another large gap of some six seconds saw the large pack of 8 drivers headed by Lewis Thompson who made his way up from grid 19, leading privateer Tyler Chesterton, Zac Robertson, Jonny Edgar, Sean Butcher and Dextor Patterson all following in pursuit. Front runner William Pettitt had a hard fort race but got shuffled down to 14th place from his grid 6 start. Next stop Kimbolton in 3 weeks !
