A blistering Shenington was the venue for round 2 of the Super One Championship on th 10th of April. The heats and Final saw Ash qualify on P2 for in the Grand Final. Ash said " It wasn't the result I really wanted, P2 at Shenington is difficult for a good start, you either need P1 or P3 particularly when you are up against the class of drivers competing.
It proved to be another hard fought race. Ash took to the grid between Andy King (Kart 39) and Ed Brand (Kart 5), from the off the three drivers soon started to pull clear of the chasing pack. Throughout the duration of the race the lead passed between the three of them several times. The closing laps of the race saw Ed Brand in the lead with Ash and Andy King fighting it out for second and third. Andy King managed to defend his second place. The skirmish allowed the pursing drivers to close in on the tail of Ash who took the finish line in third with Lewis Plato hot on his heels just 2/10ths behind.
After the race Ash said " The kart lost some of it's pace towards the end and didn't quite have enough to get past Andy and I didn't want to end up defending my position from Lewis. It was a case of having to settle for third, taking the points and living to fight another day". The result of the race was issued provisionally due to a protest which is due to be heard at the next round of the Super One Championship which takes place at Rowrah on June the 5th.
