British Formula Ford pre-season favorite Harrison Scott kicked off his second campaign in the series with a double pole lockout at Brands Hatch Indy.

The Falcon Motorsport racer, who topped yesterday’s practice with a best time identical to that of main rival Jayde Kruger, would prove untouchable come qualifying, taking over in the lead early on and setting his pole benchmark before the session hit the halfway mark.

Unsurprisingly enough, it was JTR’s Kruger who came closest to bothering Scott, but the South African would not manage to go quicker than 45 seconds and wound up settling for second.

Juan Angel Rosso took third, narrowly ahead of JTR duo of Sam Brabham and Max Marshall.

Scott’s teammate Ricky Collard was the top Scholarship class racer in sixth, leading Jamun’s Jack Barlow and Radical’s James Abbott. Ashley Sutton took ninth for Meridian, while Chris Mealin made it all three Falcon cars in the top ten.

The race three pole on second-best times also went to Scott, with Kruger picking up another front row start. Marshall and Rosso will start in third and fourth respectively.
