Damien Faulkner completed a remarkable triple win as he claimed victory in round 12 of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB at Mondello Park yesterday (Sunday, 24 July).While Richard Westbrook tigered through to third place behind Tim Harvey after starting at the back of the grid, Faulkner romped away to win his third race of the weekend and stretch his championship lead to 35 points.There was confusion at the start when the red lights failed to come on and the green light flashed instead. Faulkner (Team Parker Racing) stormed away, but Harvey (Team RPM) was badly delayed and dropped behind the fast-starting Joey Foster (Porsche Cars with Team Autosport). “All of a sudden there was a green light and Damien was gone,” said Harvey.While Westbrook (Red Line Racing) stormed up the order, Foster tried to hold onto second, but a spin at Turn 3 on the second lap cost him his hopes of a podium finish. “I just carried too much speed in and it got away from me,” he explained. Now, Faulkner was able to take his lead out to five seconds as Jason Templeman (Team Parker Racing), Harvey and Westbrook ran nose to tail for second. Harvey managed to squeeze ahead of Templeman, but Westbrook spent a long time trying to find a way through.Eventually, down to Turn 3 for the seventh time, the cars touched and Templeman spun as Westbrook nipped through to third. In the remaining laps Westbrook tried to close in on Harvey, but finally had to settle for third after a tough weekend. “This has really hurt us, but I’ve just got to go for it. I was this many points behind Tim last season and got it back,” he pointed out.Faulkner was elated to complete his hat-trick. “It’s just amazing! It’s an overwhelming feeling to win three races in a weekend,” said Faulkner. Harvey earned the ‘driver of the day’ award for his efforts in securing second despite losing out to the light problem at the start.Nigel Rice (Red Line Racing) had a fairly lonely race to fourth as Foster recovered in time to edge Templeman back to sixth. Into seventh went Stephen Shanly (Red Line Racing), but only after a race-long battle with Steve Clark (Team RPM) as Michael Corridan (Team Parker Racing) completed the finishers.Provisional results (10 laps):1 Damien Faulkner (Team Parker Racing) 17m33.440s2 Tim Harvey (Team RPM) 17m35.964s3 Richard Westbrook (Red Line Racing) 17m37.592s4 Nigel Rice (Red Line Racing) 17m50.133s5 Joey Foster (Porsche Cars with Team Autosport) 17m52.492s6 Jason Templeman (Team Parker Racing) 17m53.100s7 Stephen Shanly (Red Line Racing) 18m01.921s8 Steve Clark (Team RPM) 18m02.370s9 Michael Corridan (Team Parker Racing) 19m17.023s
