Sam Tordoff dominated round 11 of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB at Snetterton today (Sunday 12 August) as he won from pole with a faultless performance. Championship leader Michael Meadows chased Tordoff all the way to the flag, but was unable to challenge as Victor Jimenez (Pro-Am1) and Fraser O’Brien (Pro-Am2) won their respective classes.Tordoff (Team Parker Racing) took control of the race as soon as the lights went out and headed the field into the opening lap. Unfortunately, already missing from the pack was fourth place qualifier Ben Barker (Parr Motorsport) after a water pipe detached on the green flag lap and forced him to miss the race. Meanwhile, Meadows (Redline Racing) slotted into second and knew that his best chance was to attack Tordoff on the opening lap. “My start wasn’t strong and there was not much more I could do,” said Meadows. “The pace was too even to do anything.”With a lead of nearly a second after the opening lap, Tordoff was able to control the race from the front and drove superbly to never put a wheel wrong. He took his lead over to around two seconds and was never seriously troubled. “Fantastic,” said Tordoff. “I can’t ask for any more. It’s just clicking this weekend and the car has been perfect.” Behind Tordoff and Meadows, Andy Meyrick (Team Parker Racing) and Jonas Gelzinis (Juta Racing) ran in close company for many laps in the battle for third. However, on lap nine Gelzinis had a half spin at Agostini’s and as he rejoined he inadvertently clipped Ahmad Al Harthy (Redline/Oman Air). Meyrick was delighted to complete the podium after his first Carrera Cup race. “It was mega fun, but I didn’t get the best of starts,” said Meyrick.The delay to Gelzinis elevated the contest between Rory Butcher (Celtic Speed) and Daniel Lloyd (JD Pierce with Team Parker) to fourth place and Lloyd grabbed the place on the final lap after a long pursuit.Contact on the opening lap between Derek Pierce (JD Pierce with Team Parker) and Michael Leonard (Naas Court Hotel with Parker) delayed them both and ensured Al Harthy led Pro-Am1 from Jimenez (Redline/Oman Air) and Oly Mortimer (GT Marques). It was all looking good for Al Harthy until he was left with nowhere to go as Gelzinis rejoined the track. Damage to the frustrated Al Harthy’s car cost him victory and put him out of the race. Gelzinis was later excluded from the results and penalised four championship points.Instead, Jimenez took over to win Pro-Am1 from the chasing Mortimer and Keith Webster (Redline/Marque One) moved up to third for his first Pro-Am1 podium. “I’m very happy: it was a difficult race,” said the Spanish racer. Mortimer raced hard but had a major handicap over the closing stages after a lens fell out of his glasses and he to drive with full vision in only one eye.O’Brien made a great start to his Carrera Cup campaign by winning Pro-Am2 with an assured performance. The teenager chased the tail of the Pro-Am1 pack before making sure of category victory and accumulating valuable race experience. “I was just trying to bed myself in,” said O’Brien as Will Goff (Goff Racing) dived ahead of Tania Mann (sibsport performance) at the start to lay claim to second place.Round eleven results:Pro category: 1 Sam Tordoff; 2 Michael Meadows; 3 Andy Meyrick.Pro-Am1 category: 1 Victor Jimenez; 2 Oly Mortimer; 3 Keith Webster.Pro-Am2 category: 1 Fraser O’Brien; 2 Will Goff; 3 Tania Mann.
