Overview
- Tom Ingram set the fastest time in the sole Donington Park GP free practice on Saturday with a 1:33.490 lap to finish marginally ahead of Mikey Doble and Dan Rowbottom.
- Championship leader Ashley Sutton was seventh in the session which leaves him outside the immediate frontrunners and increases the urgency for his title defence.
- The session was briefly stopped for a mechanical issue when Josh Cook’s Speedworks Corolla suffered a trigger-wheel or crank-sensor failure but the red flag did not cost the field any meaningful running.
- Daniel Lloyd returned to the grid for Restart Racing, posting the 17th quickest time after replacing James Dorlin and confirming he will continue in the campaign.
- Practice pace is only an early indicator because split-group qualifying begins later in the afternoon followed by a one-lap Qualifying Race that will determine the starting order for the weekend’s main races.
