Kellett has mixed Knockhill race positions, but over all a good weekend.

LAP ONE

Saturday saw the first race of the weekend with James in fourth after qualifying, With Lando Norris on pole with Senna Proctor and Jack Mitchell in second and third, unfortunately for James, he slowly headed backwards and finished the first race of the meeting in seventh, with Lando, jack and Senna taking the three podium positions.

RACE TWO

With James on pole position for the second race of the Knockhill weekend, it is looking like he is going to build upon his good results so far over the last few weeks, 

Lando Norris in 2nd place will try to get past, but James gets a strong start with Lando 2nd, after the first few corners, there is a tiny gap being pulled by the front three, and with no issues so far, these youngsters are showing that they are a force to be reckoned with, but as the first lap is complete Lando pulls forward and James goes back one place.

The front two are now slightly pulling away, with Lando being pushed hard by James, as they pass the start finish line to start lap three, the front two have pulled away from 3rd position, and with a train of cars following back from third, these guys and girls are really pushing for all they are worth, Lando is now pulling away from James as they finish lap three and starting four.

James will not let him pull away and as half the lap is complete, the pair are fighting hard, and James just storms past Lando on the final bend to take first, a couple of cars have left the track, with one in a precarious position, but no safety car has been called as yet, James is now the guy being pushed by Norris and James is defending, and Chadwick is now pushing for 2nd, the lap continues with James still in the lead, with a train of three behind.



The gap has now pulled a little more and James knows he must pull a significant gap to be safe from further attack as the laps progress, lap 7 starts with a nice gap, and a bigger one between Lando Norris and third place Chadwick, the fighting for position is as hard lower down the field as it is at the top, but James is still there, and not taking it for granted, the gap has remained the same, as lap eight of 12 is starting, and with another car leaving the track and swiftly coming back on, the fighting is getting fierce.

Lap nine carries on as before with James in the lead, with Lando right behind, but now the gap back to third, is quite significant, but neither of the two up front know their positions are safe, until they go over that finish line for the last time, lap ten comes around with the front two, in procession, with Lando just a little bit closer, but James wont let them worry him, and will carry on defending and racing hard to the end.

The gap now between two and three and three and the rest is now nearly the full length of the start finish straight, with the rest now in a line of about nine cars, James has pulled slightly ahead on the final lap with a sixth tenths gap, its looking like a great result again for James, and with a new sponsor on the horizon, his future is well assured, the final corner, and on to the chequered flag and James win with Lando Norris 2nd, a brilliant race for all involved and another brilliant win for James along with the fastest lap, a great final race of the weekend.

This win now puts James 2nd in the league 76 points behind Jack Mitchell, with Lando Norris in third, and with Rockingham the next race weekend, james will be fighting hard for pole positions and wins in both races.
