Round 6 Hampton Downs (Sun 2 Mar)


Race 1:
Dean PerkinsStarts off as expected with Dean in the lead followed closely by Tony G and Justin. Still within the first lap Andrew is sliding at Marshall Point 4. Tony G catches up with Dean in the second lap and is holding strong.  Ross overtakes Smith and is coming close to doing the same to Colin. Tony V and Calvin are battling well, whilst Tony G is now looking a bit smokey at turn 1. Dean starts to pull away from Tony G for a bigger lead, but they are both still far in front of the others. Paul is out in the middle all by himself, looking like he is having fun! Graham is now at the back and Colin comes off at turn 2 and doesn’t re-join.
Paul has a little late breaking on the tight right hander, followed by a spin off from Andrew with a re-join after Graham.
1st, 2nd and 3rd are very spread out on the last lap and finishes as such.

Colin comes off the circuit at turn 3 not to re-join. Paul comes back in front of Calvin and also is now in front of Smith. Tony V seems to be staying steady throughout the race.

Lap 3 sees the end of Graham and Calvin slides out at turn 2. By the end of lap 4 Dean has overtaken Colin and Ross has taken a position from Paul. Justin is also getting close to Paul.
Stu now has Tony V on his tail, who in turn has Justin closing the gap up the rear. Tony G has gone up the inside of Veen on turn 4 who then stops at turn 5. Paul has now slipped into 7th position and Dean has made it into 3rd.
There has been some contact between Tony V and Dean on the sweeper, which leaves Justin to take the lead, closely followed by Tony G, Colin and Ross. Stu loses 3 places, Paul makes up a place before the end of the race with Dean behind him with Veen at the back.
