BMW Dominates at Monza

After a rocky start with technical issues the Touring Car series got underway. A little late and a driver short, the drivers were faced with their first hurdle - wet qualifying. Despite being new territory for most of the drivers Chris mangaged to secure pole by just 0.055 from Dave.

Race 1 started with Dave getting a great start and he led into turn 1 from Chris and Craig. Andre and Shayne were locked in a great battle for 4th (despite Shayne only taking delivery of his car that day). At the front a hard-charging Chris managed to spin out of 2nd but rejoined just in front of Andre and managed to hold 3rd to the flag. Dave won the race in his E90 320Si, followed by Craig in his similar car.

Race 2 started with newcomer Dean thrust into Pole Position in the older model Alfa GTA, Dave had an amazing start and took full advantage of the RWD BMW to pass everyone before turn 1, but Shayne was having none of it and immediately attacked back - a small slide in the middle of the Lesmos saw Shayne drop back to 4th but Chris took up the chase in his similar Accord. Shayne them found himself under pressure from Andre in the newer Alfa 156 and they had another great battle until a mistake took Shayne out of the running. At the front Chris ran into tyre trouble and had to back of, but then started off after Dave again. Craig meanwhile set the fastest lap of the race and got right on Chris' tail as his tyres overheated again resulting in a tense drag race to the line. Dave won again, this time followed home by Chris with Craig only 0.098 secs behind!

With more drivers due to take part at Magny Cours it looks like being a great season.

SARL V8 Series Champion - Summer 2007

In a season that saw 7 different drivers taking victories, it was always gonna be a tight and hard fought championship.
With consistent performances and regular trips to the podium(4 wins), it was Philip Woodhouse who took a well deserved championship victory ahead of teammate Marc Wright.


As a result of their good individual performances, they also managed to secure the team championship for Pin Point Racing.
The team couldn't have asked for a more perfect season, taking the spoils in both championship categories on offer.

GTR2 Fun Races

Last night saw most of the GT series drivers gather for some fun races at Dubai, Monza, Anderstorp, Oschersleben and Barcelona, on the shorter versions of the tracks. Everyone drove 350Z's, and it was action packed with none of the drivers having car or track knowledge and only 15 mins per venue to learn the track and set a qualifying time.


Paul showed what was probably the best overall pace for the evening, but he didn't have it all his own way, and there were a few surprises too, such as a superb last minute pole time from Marius.

All in all there was a lot of fun had, and more than 1 broken car.

SARL Touring Car Series kicks off this weekend.

The drivers head for Monza for round 1 of the Touring Car series - with such closely matched cars the action should be fast and furious over the course of the two 9 lap races.
