Damien Faulkner and Tim Harvey each tasted victory in two action-packed races for the Porsche Carrera Cup GB at the Mondello Park circuit in Ireland over the weekend of 22/23 April.
Race One
Local driver Faulkner (Co Donegal) twice had to cope with race re-starts as two safety car periods interrupted the contest. However, having led from the start, the reigning Carrera Cup champion was never going to lessen his grip on the lead and he was able to quickly re-assert himself. “Mondello has always been good to me and it���s great to come back here and do well,” said Faulkner (who drives for Leicester-based Team Parker Racing with SAS) after a commanding performance. “The car was fantastic.”
Tim Harvey (Witney) led the chase of Faulkner, after a brush with Danny Watts (Buckingham) on the charge to the first corner. As Watts ran wide, Michael Caine (Newmarket) nipped through into third and settled in behind his team-mate.
With Jason Templeman (Nottingham) spinning out of fifth, Watts now concentrated on attacking Caine for third. Into the last corner for the eighth time, Watts dived for the inside and the cars touched, with Caine sliding off into the gravel. “He was two or three car���s lengths behind and all of a sudden he sledged into the side of me,” said Caine. “I dived down the inside and he tried turning in,” countered Watts.>
