Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge Round 6

Being competitive against the faster Gen-2 cars was more of a challenge than normal, due to the drag strip nature of the Sandown circuit. Despite that disadvantage, it was another outstanding weekend for Daniel taking 2 B Class wins but more importantly, taking an exceptional 4th outright in race 2 against the A Class cars.

Kamal had an impressive qualifying session but was unceremoniously punted off at turn in race 1. In race 2 he did an amazing job to charge through the field from grid 23 to take 4th which was later elevated to 2nd after penalties for others. He help off a forceful charge from Lockie to hold 2nd in race three and take another podium for the team.

Ater qualifying 4th Lockie had had contact at turn 1 bending his steering so he had to nurse a sub-optimal car home in race 1. In race 2 he started 5th and was in the middle of a frantic top-6 battle for position eventually forcing his way through to 4th. He tried everything he could in race 3 to pass Kamal but had to settle for 3rd equal, losing the podium on count back.

Tim did a great job to qual 5th in his first time at Sandown. After a quick spin in race 1 he recovered to 7th. Tim was having a great race until a slight misjudgement clipped the back of another car and accidentally turning him around. He was issued a drive through penalty. In race 3 he did a great job to get back to 5th in Pro Am giving him 5th also, for the round.

Eric qualified a solid 4th and had a great first race with Moylan but needed one more lap to get to 3rd. In race 2 Eric was doing a great job running third in Pro Am until he locked his rear tyres into turn 1 and got himself beached. He was rescued and continued to the finish. He progressed one place in race 3.

John qualified 9th and was having a good run in race 1 until a spin dropped him to 9th. John had a great battle in the Pro Am mis pack until making slight contact with another car leading to a quick spin. He did a great job to recover to 5th.

Kent qualified 10th and has a great first race, making two places. In race 2 Kent got a cracking start and was in position to capitalise on a the melee at turn 1 when he got run onto the grass, spinning his car and then he was collected by a back marker damaging the rear chassis rails.
