Race report Oulton Park 8th May 2010 Rounds 3 & 4
Well what can we say what a cracking days racing for the Vulcan team. We arrived Friday evening. The team were joined by Tony, Chris and Sam to assist for the weekends racing. Tony (who spanners on MTEC Ferrari team and others) Chris is ex Redbull and Sam is one of the Lunar students that has worked on the car in the off season.
The car arrived fitted with new wheels and Silverstone tyres for this round and has been restictered. The repair had been carried out to the rear from Brands.
A good social night was had by all with other racers in the paddock and relaxed atmosphere lead to a good nights sleep.
Saturday morning soon arrived the car was set up for qualifying, due to Dan and Peter sharing the car Peter was to quailfy out of session and therefore start last in race 4 and Dan to start race 11.
Dans qualifying went well the car performed really well and tyres worked with good grip in damp conditions. P6 was the result to some cracking driving with a 209.47.
Race 4 - Peter lined up at the back of the grid of P23, the lights went out and he was away acouple of places from the start and as the laps went on Peter moved through the pack, with 4 cars in one lap being passed. After a sterling drive Peter finished the race in P11 with a fastest lap of 208.73. On returning to the pits Peter was greated by the team who were made up with the result as he finished 2nd in class.
Race 11 - Dan llined up P6 with the V8's ahead of him, Dave Brooke was set for a rematch from Brands and the tension was building. The lights went out and they were away, 2.5 V6 vs 3.9 V8 the cars all got away cleanly and the battle ensued. Dan managed to get past Dave but had him firmly fixed to his bumper for a lap. Dan drove out of his skin and pushed the car harder than it has been pushed before. he managed to pull out a small lead of a few car lengths chasing down the pack infront. One of the V8's had a small off and Dan managed to get in front and have a buffer between hime and Dave putting Dan in P2 for the final lap Dan was chasing down Ollie with a chain of V8's chasing. 2nd overall in the race 1st in class and fastest lap together with driver of the race what a result.
So what can we say, we love Oulton Park what a cracking weekend bring on Silverstone.
