Genuine Racing - GTi Trophy 2013 - Round 6 - KY2

Lamp, Savy & Elmo pre-qualified 3rd, 4th & 18th respectively for the final round of the Genuine Racing GTi Trophy. Qualifying was as tense as ever, Savy putting his XFG 4th on the grid, the fastest XFG time of the day. Lamp qualified 8th and Elmo 20th. 41 minutes later after 18 laps of Kyoto National [TC] Racing brought home 4th (Savy), 5th (Lamp) & 17th (Elmo). Savy narrowly missed out on his 3rd podium of the season by missing his pitbox meaning he had to reverse back into it!

Official series results will be released tomorrow. Stay tuned to find out how we did in the Driver & Team Championship!

Pre-qualifying went well getting 2 of us in the top 5. Qualifying was a tense battle between Savy and Lahteenmaki. Savy took pole by nearly a tenth! Lamp took 5th by two tenths and Elmo took 12th. The first race was intense and there was a lot of battling up front. Savy took an impressive win to make it his first league race podium. He narrowly missed a win in race 2 but still, a very successful evening for [TC] Racing our largest points haul so far.

Genuine Racing (GenR) Turbo Trophy - Round 6 - 1x72 laps of SO6 (TBO)

[TC] Racing - FXO

Driver 2: Lamp (P.Butcher) (Number 82 - FXO)

Pre-qualifying Results:

Lamp: 4th

Qualifying Results

Lamp: 3rd

Race 1 Results

Lamp: 5th

As it happened

Pre-qualifying was relatively poorly attended meaning Lamp got the #82 FXO up to 4th. Qualifying went better than expected after a relatively lucky opening lap put Lamp 3rd where he stayed for the remainder of the 20 minute session. The first stint of the race was awful, Lamp dropping 2 places before an early pitstop on lap 27. This left the tyres to battle on through a 45 lap 2nd stint. Astonishingly the gap to 3rd & 4th place was only 2 seconds when he crossed the line after a consistent and quick second stint.

[TC] Racing finished the GenR Turbo Trophy in 2nd place! This gives us automatic entry into the GenR 9 Hours of Aston Historic Reversed race later this year.

Genuine Racing (GenR) NEC - Round 1 - 4 Hours of SO5R (UF1/XFG/XRG)

[TC] Racing 1 - Class 1 - XFG

Driver 1: Savy (T.Saville)
Driver 2: Lamp (P.Butcher)
Reserve: Elmo (C.McElroy)

Provisional Result: 7th
Provisional Points: 9

As it happened

Pre-qualifying for the event was cancelled after fewer than 30 teams confirmed for the race. This meant [TC-R] were automatically allowed to qualify. Savy qualified 6th in class putting him 6th on the grid for the start of the race. Savy drove a 2 hour stint and gained 2 places meaning that at the half way point he was 4th. Savy pitted after 2 hours and 15 minutes to let Lamp take the wheel. During the pitstop, we dropped 2 places but Lamp managed to get back into 6th. On the closing laps, Team Vires 1 overtook dropping us down to 7th.
