Alsop Takes Apex GP
“Hobao factory driver Graham Alsop took TQ and the win at the prestigious Apex GP at Slough. Graham had a hard battle for pole position with Associated driver Elliott Boots, but it was the Hobao driver who came out on top to take the qualifying honours. By taking TQ Graham avoided the lottery of a semi final and this was what accounted for Elliott and meant the young man from Kent was unable to take his place in the main final. Elliott was unlucky as a receiver lead pulled out and ended his challenge. The main final saw Graham drive fast and controlled, using his RB/Byron power package to stretch out the fuel stops to 10 minutes which gives a big advantage at Slough due to the very slow pit lane. Graham went on to win unchallenged from David Crompton and Jon Hazelwood. 4th and 5th were Jon Howells with his Picco powered Hobao and Craig Drescher with the RB Associated. All of the top 5 chose Proline tyres to take them to the front.” [Source - cmldistribution.co.uk]
