It was all Cobra Daytona in today’s SuperSixties race at Donington Park, with Graham Moss leading every lap but one, when he came in for his compulsory pitstop. Late-stopping Oliver Douglas had one lap of glory before order was restored. Marcos-mounted David Methley had to work hard for second, with a determined Jan van der Kooi harrying him all the way. The green Lotus Elan held second at one point, but it wasn’t to be, a small mistake meaning he had to settle for third. Roelant de Waard’s quest for fourth was settled when Jamie Boot in the TVR dropped out. Fifth at the finish was the first of the touring cars, pedalled by Tim Scott Andrews. Carlo Hamilton had been reeling him in and actually took the class lead with a very well timed pitstop, but the light/dark blue Falcon repassed the light blue/white one on lap 14. Next up was Adam Cunnington with some masterly driving in his Lotus Cortina, ahead of Jos Stevens in the second of the Lotus Elans. Volker Weidler and Jaap van der Ende rounded out the top-10 in yet more Ford Falcons, while class winners De Vries/De Vries (CT07 Mini) and Lübbert/Henke (GTS11 TR4) had a race long scrap for 11th, which the Mini guys won in the end. We expect all 5 retired cars to be patched up, while the DNS Shelby GT350 of Jacques Smeer has also been fixed ready for tomorrow’s race, so we will have a full grid ready to do battle at 11:45 tomorrow (12:45 CET) for race 2.
