Pole Position with Motorsport Insurance
Pole Position for Motorsport Race and Rally Insurance Services
The 2013 Formula Ford Festival saw Justin Everitt of MORIS take pole position by a couple of hundredths of a second in the final of the Duratec Sports 2000 races this season.
The conditions started out as wet and finished as a small monsoon as Justin guided the unique March 09R to prime position on the Saturday in preparation for the race on Sunday.
"The conditions were very tricky but the Kieron Salter designed March chassis prepared by Scott Racing Services enabled me to keep everything under control. Some of the drivers weer having a challenging time out there but the car was just brilliant. A wet race would suite us well - but having won earlier in the year in wet conditions, now everyone is rooting for a "dry" win for the car"
Trevor Scott of Scott Racing Services commented: "Justin was having a frustrating time cutting through traffic on this short Indy circuit but once he had a clear track ahead he had no problem taking the car to pole position. It Should be a very exciting race tomorrow"
Meanwhile.......
As part of a continued campaign of increasing awareness amongst MSA Licence Hodlers, MORIS had support from two of the MORIS Marvels (Anca and Julia) who continued with their research duties amongst drivers of the weekend. Under the "I'm insured - are you?" banner, MORIS continued to ask questions of drivers establishing their perception of the dangers, whether they carry insurance and what they considered to be reasonable costs for insurance. In addition to doing all this in the wet weather, the Marvels had Podium dutes to perform. It was fitting that as Justin was scooping pole position the Marvels were on hand for the presentation of the opening round of the Formula Ford Festival - won by Joey Foster.
A stunning start.......
"Probably the worst start of my life" commented Everitt. I got the car off the line perfectly on the warm up lap and figured I would be able to control the race if I could lead going into the first corner. Unfortunately come the big moment I got way too much wheel spin, the car felt it was going in every direction except for forward. It really was a stunning start..... the team were pretty stunned too and I never managed to recover from there. Am just gutted when we had so much hope" Tne moment it started to go wrong was caught on camera by Championship winner Robert Oldershaw who was third on the grid and was almost collected by Justin at the start.
