Group 1 recap from Donington, Race 2

by Christian Roy

 

After an unlucky first round, we find Stu in his usual form: On pole, and bringing the pack into Turn1

Wow, the whole field has made it cleanly through the first couple of turns, as we can see about 14 cars in this scene... Great guys!

After losing his 2nd position to Ellis in the previous corner, Baker(turquoise Opel) gets loose into McLean's Corner, then recovers, but gets passed by all these cars.....

 

.....and later at Coppice, surprises Hedges(not shown here) with a late braking, but the slight contact will send the Aussie driver to this position, as almost the whole field will pass by- including the beautiful Alfa of Clements, seen  chasing Randy Sisk.

 

Vreeland, now 3rd after starting 7th, is again battling with Beno in this round, as, in the background, the field tightens at the Melbourne   Hairpin.

Hedges has just passed Kohl (after his teammate did the same in the previous lap), and now, Van Greer will do the same, which drops "The Pits" Opel to 9th place.

Massie's Alfa and Raumel's Merc are pushed to their limits (and beyond), as they go wide exiting the chicane while trying hard to catch the duo of Beno and Vreeland.....

......and they do, so we now have a nice 4 way battle for the 3rd position.
