| GAZ Shocks Production BMW Championship Rounds 12 & 13 Cadwell Park 21/22 August |
|
Dubbed the ‘mini Nurburgring’ due to its tight and narrow track, Cadwell always puts on a good show for the fans, and this was no exception. The first qualifying session went the way of Ben Winrow, with the former Clio Cup Champion ready to battle for honours. James McIntyre secured the quickest time in the second qualifying outing, with Winrow setting the fastest overall time. A strong field of entrants allowed for three separate races, to ensure each driver fought it out twice each. The first outing went the way of Winrow, with the youngster getting the better of rivals Rob Smith (RPM) and Liam Crilly. Determined not to let Winrow escape into the distance, the latter two hung onto his BMW 320i, with just over one second separating the top three. As the grid lined up for the second time, honours came the way of Smith (RPM), with the reigning champion waltzing onto the top step of the podium. Behind, Nick Barke completed the challenge a somewhat distant second, with Tim Wilson right on his tail in third. With the BMW chase coming to an end at the challenging circuit, the final race of the weekend got underway with Winrow heading the field once again. Eager to shake off advances from his closest rivals he stormed around the tight and twisty track, with Wilson in tow. As the pair swept across the finish line, Wilson was just 1.371 seconds adrift, handing Winrow another double bout of victories. The top of the championship standings is still extremely tight. As the season weaves to an end all eyes are focused on who will be taking home the most important spoils. Text: Leanne Fahy
