Series Champions

Questars Summer Series Championship – a reminder

Our Summer Series Championship covered our six summer races (including our two-day race which counted as two one-day races). Everyone’s top four results counted towards their series score, with a minimum of four races required to be considered for prizes.

Series points are calculated per individual participant / team member. If an individual’s team composition between races changed, their series points are unaffected. Individuals in teams with the same team members throughout the series will gain the same series points and ranking on the series leaderboard.

Race scores are converted into series points and series points from different races are added together for each person, to give their series score.

Series points are calculated by dividing an individual’s race score by the overall race winner’s score and multiplying by 1,000.

An example is shown below:

Calculating series points like this improves consistency throughout the series by minimising the impact of variable conditions between races which are beyond the course planner’s control e.g. the weather.

Vets Scoring – a reminder

Our Vets category starts at 50 and an individual’s score is adjusted above this age with individuals receiving a 1.5% increase for every year that they are over 50. How this works is set out below:

All team members take the age of their oldest team member and ages are taken as of 1 March each year.

Racers are only eligible for one podium spot, so if a racer finishes on the podium in both Vets and non-Vets categories then their higher (or non-Vets) placing takes precedence.

Our Champions

After six incredible races we finish with five very worthy Series winners! A massive congratulations to Campbell Walsh, Emma Gill, Kevin Stephens and Liz Jones and Maggie Salter for taking home the Series wins and engraving their names onto our Series Winners’ Fingerpost and add another star to their race numbers. A summary of each category is below and full Series results can be found here. 

Masters Female

Emma Gill had a terrific Series, racing really consistently throughout to take the win with 3,231 points. Pollie Boyle took second spot on the podium for the second consecutive year with an excellent overall score of 3,053 points. Teammates Serena Howell and Ellie Caple closed out the podium with a great overall score of 2,993 points, doing just enough to beat Mandy Hibberd into fourth place by just 30 points!

Masters Open

Campbell Walsh took home the Series win with an unstoppable 4,000 points after four brilliant race wins – each won in closely fought contests by less than a checkpoint! Ben Hawkins continued to improve throughout the Series and took an excellent second place overall on 3,841 points. Gary Davies just held off Dan Thorby for the final podium spot taking it by just five points!

Masters Female Vets

What an incredibly close Series of racing! After six races, Liz Jones and Maggie Salter won the Series by just twelve points! A terrific final race in the South Downs saw them leapfrog Emma Gill into first place overall. Emma was ultimately excluded from the Vets podium due to her non-Vets category win. Ella Pyman took second place on the podium with an excellent 3,274 points with June Kingsbury finishing in third place with a brilliant 3,208 points. 

Masters Open Vets

Kevin Stephens won his first Vets Series with a terrific Series of racing amassing an excellent adjusted score of 4,026 points. There was a real battle for second place with Nick Gracie holding off Steve Burnham to claim second place by just 22 points, finishing on 3,921 points overall to Steve’s 3,899 points.
