Chris has won this title before and this marks his best chance to win since he took gold at Cowdenbeath in 2002. Shale form is limited to the odd knockabout once in a while - looked good at the last Kings Lynn. In with a shout if others fall out - but a very dogged and determined driver - could he double up his gold?
James THACKRA (324)
Former British and European champion, James has been always there and there abouts. Not afraid of shale, just chooses not too nowadays.
Has led a world final, only to be done the very next corner!
The darkest of dark horses, could he sneak a win here?
Andrew PALMER (606)
The man on shale this season, and for many seasons previous. This is his first real chance to grab gold. Has mixed with all the main title contenders and beat them all.
If he comes through the first corner carnage, he is a real contender
823 Sam WAGNER
in the shake up in the results. Good on shale, good on tar, hence his position.
Could be in with a shout, few would begrudge!
154 Steve GREEN Jnr
Bit of an unknown quantity, as mostly a big track tarmac specialist. Shale form is unknown.
If it was Skeg again, no problem, however will probably go backwards
Another driver who would have preferred a tarmac world final. A real Hednesford specialist, this knowledge saw him progress. Shale form is unknown, but has worn gold before - albeit in Rebels.
Unlikely to make much progress, might be a casualty
676 Neil HOOPER
The south west's current number one, in what is currently a bit of a doldrum period for the pasty chompers on the national scene. He started on pole for the last shale world at Mildenhall, however didn't set the shale alight.
If there is chaos ahead, he will be benefitting from it.
24 Jon PALMERBad Boy Jon P spent the majority of the season banned for an altrication at the European last year, but came back testing the new stunning Motorworld car. It left him 2 qualifying rounds to get in, and that he did, just! A solid drive in the semi saw him get in.
Might be in the shake up or in a pile up.
169 Richard STOTT
Richard has had a whirlwind start to his F2 career, being dominant on the large tracks. Got into the semi final and then won the meeting final which means that this semi starts on the inside. Don't think he's been on shale yet - but if his past form is anything to go by, it probably wouldn't faze him.
There for the ride, see how he goes.
721 Graham KELLY
Brisca's most northerly driver now restricts the majority of his driving to the far north of Scotland, specialising on his home track on Crimond. One time darling of the Scottish fans, he prefers to just drive for fun without pressure. Has played on the shale in the past.
Has seen it all, experience will play a part, should finish
