James Sutton clinched his third Porsche Carrera Cup GB win in a row at Oulton Park today (Saturday 4 June) in an action-packed round seven, but it was at the expense of his team mate Michael Meadows who led for 16 of the 18 laps. When Meadows fell foul of coolant on the track, Sutton swept ahead and Stephen Jelley battled though to take second from Meadows. Jonas Gelzinis claimed Pro-Am1 victory and Andrew Shelley won Pro-Am2 from long-time leader Steve Parish.Meadows (SAS/Redline) did everything right from the start to lead from pole as Sutton ran second under constant pressure from Jelley (Parker with Juta). For lap after lap it was nip-and-tuck, but Meadows seemed set for victory until two laps from home. Down to Knickerbrook on lap 17 of 18, Meadows was first to find coolant dropped by the car of Sam Tordoff (Team Parker Racing). “I just lost the front of the car,” said Meadows as he slithered across the grass. Jelley had been attacking Sutton at the same time, but as Sutton dived ahead, Jelley had to slot in behind Meadows. On the final lap, Meadows again ran across the grass and Jelley nipped through to second.Despite taking his third win on the bounce, Sutton was disappointed for his team mate. “It was a shame to see him go off because we’ve been working so hard as a team,” said Sutton. “You’ve got to be as consistent as you can in this championship,” he added, after extending his points’ lead. “When the coolant went down it gave us another thing to think about,” said Jelley, who had spent the whole race attacking the SAS cars. “Gutted,” was how Meadows understandably summer up his feelings after taking third.Into fourth went Michael Caine (Nationwide/Motorbase), but he was fortunate to finish after a clash at the hairpin with Gelzinis (Juta Racing) left Caine with a damaged rear wheel. Fortunately, the tyre stayed up, but any chance of chasing the top three was gone. Gelzinis also elected to ease back his pace over the closing laps once his constant shadow of the first half, Euan Hankey (Parker with Juta) dropped down the order when a run through the gravel at Druids peeled the front splitter off his car. “It was too risky as you could not see the coolant,” said Gelzinis of his decision to back off and make sure of Pro-Am1 victory.Behind sixth-placed Richard Plant (Team Parker Racing), Ahmad Al Harthy (Oman Air/Redline) grabbed second in Pro-Am1 after a lengthy challenge on Plant. Right with them was Ben Hetherington (Oman Air/Redline) from Hankey and Rory Butcher (Celtic Speed) who claimed the final Pro-Am1 podium position. “That’s one of the hardest races I’ve had,” said Al Harthy.For 12 laps Parish (Motorbase Performance) led Pro-Am2 under a constant challenge from Shelley (Redline Racing) as George Brewster (Celtic Speed) chased. Then, Shelley’s patience was rewarded when he grabbed a chance to dive inside Parish into Old Hall. Parish ran wide and lost his front splitter over the kerb, which left him powerless to re-challenge Shelley. “It was hard work on the coolant,” said Shelley, while Parish was pleased to have run so strongly and taken second. Brewster went out after clipping the tyres at Knickerbrook after a moment on the coolant and it was Keith Webster (Redline Racing) who moved through to complete the Pro-Am2 podium.
