NEWMAN & LOWER LOCKED TOGETHER IN TITLE COMBAT
Right now, the competition is incredibly fierce between Geoff Newman and Charlie Lower in the battle for this year’s Caterham Roadsport Championship title, with both drivers going back and forth trading the lead of the points standings on overall scores. While it’s not yet clear where each driver stands on dropped scores, it could hardly be any closer at this stage – right now, Newman heads to Knockhill just a single point ahead of Lower with five wins to his name compared to four for Charlie and both also have two fastest laps to date too. Lower’s impressive consistency has helped him finish every race no lower than 6th, while a 9th place for Newman is what stands in the way of a larger points lead. These two will continue trading punches in Scotland as the title fight rages on.
Working hard to keep on their tail will be Freddie Chiddicks, who may appear a little way off with a gap of 31 points to leader Newman on total scores, but is expected to be closer once drops come into play. His form has been a little shaky recently, with the last three races seeing him finish no higher than 6th, which will have been disappointing for Freddie given his super run of podiums and wins from Brands Hatch through to Donington. While he has the hardest task of the top three, don’t count him out of the hunt just yet – a solid points haul from Knockhill will help keep his chances alive. Plus, if he also beats both Geoff and Charlie on track too, that’ll certainly be a bonus.
