Armed Forces eMotorsports titles to be decided in final week after thrilling Silverstone races
The 2023 Armed Forces eMotorsports titles will be decided in the final two races next week after a thrilling couple of rounds at the virtual Silverstone track.
RAF racer Ryan Martin leads the drivers championship and could have sealed the title this week but was unable to race.
That gave his teammate Chris Pawley the chance to close the gap at the top but he failed to score points in the opening race after qualifying in sixth and only managed second place in the last race of the night.

Will Foulkes, also from the Air Force, led from the front to win the first race with Stu McFadden and Adam Barron completing the all-RAF podium.
The grid's reverse spin for the second race made it more difficult for Foulkes but he battled through the field to take the win again, completing an impressive Silverstone double.
Pawley solidified his top-two status in the drivers championship with a runners-up spot while McFadden finished third for a second all-RAF podium.
Another impressive night for the Air Force drivers makes it a foregone conclusion that they will win the team title but the individual championship is still to play for.
It's set to be a straight shootout between Martin (1,528 points) and Pawley (1,514 points) in virtual Donington with 100 points available for a win.
