Lewis, it would have been great to have seen you battling away for 1st Clubman with Adam & Ali but you clearly had a frustrating and disappointing day.
You are racing against all the karts on the grid for position Clubman & Elite. Clubman at WL was introduced to motivate aspiring pros like yourself with the chance of a trophy... when previously all tinnies were cleaned up by an 'elite' few.
There is a suggestion that anyone doing 59 second laps should automatically be in 'Elite' but this would again deprive some of the new young quick drivers of a trophy.
Next year when you are in the 'Elite' I doubt you will not expect a Clubman class kart to move over. If one of the current Elite is front of you now should you just take this as your next challenge??
I know you got had a black/white warning flag with me & although this was probably more than just a bit harsh, if you go to other tracks overall you'll know what a great job they do at WL & normally get it right.
Not sure which Elite you got held up with in the final but we all get set up wrong from time to time....... I should know I qualified down in 12th behind loads of karts in Clubman.... and none of them moved over for me!
Hope you have a better time out next month.
