Saturday started bright and sunny, Caroline qualified fourth
out of twenty-six. She made a great start in the race and maintained P4 and
even challenged for the podium on a few laps. Positions jostled about with the
top ten being separated by just 2.5 seconds. Lap 10 saw Caroline back in sixth,
a mad last lap dash by Wes Dunford didn’t pay off and Caz maintained her
ground, Wes’s car was pushed aside through Broklands! Caroline finished the
race in sixth place. The Mighty CRS just needing a new bumper and the
wing re-shaping before race 2.
Sunday was a new race and qualifying session, Caroline
qualified 10th with just 0.2 of a second separating the top 10! Caroline again
made a great start in the race and by the 4th lap Caroline was fighting for
sixth place, again the top ten was inseparable! Caroline avoided a big incident
which saw David Marcuson’s car thrown into the air after a bump with Kelvin
Fletcher. She crossed the line 4 cars abreast in 6th place but was promoted to
5th after David Marcuson was disqualified for dangerous driving.
The Silverstone race definitely upheld the championships
accolade of “the MOST entertaining race series in the UK” The race will be
televised shortly on Motors TV. Team CRS now looks forward to Snetterton on the
1st and 2nd of September.
