Meadows does Carrera Cup GB double at Thruxton

Michael Meadows takes second win at ThruxtonGraeme Mundy wins Pro-Am1 againSteven Liquorish wins Pro-Am2 after another great contestMichael Meadows scored a perfect double by winning round six of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB at Thruxton this afternoon (Sunday 4 May). Once again Meadows was able to edge clear of Josh Webster to make it three wins from six races this season. Graeme Mundy and Steven Liquorish won Pro-Am1 and Pro-Am2 respectively, with Liquorish emerging ahead from another great contest.Meadows (Samsung UHD TV Racing) converted pole into the lead from the rolling start and was able to edge clear of Webster (Redline Racing) as Victor Jimenez ran a strong third, well in touch with his Redline team mate.While Meadows consolidated his lead, Oscar King (Parr Motorsport) battled hard with Paul Rees (In2 Racing) for fourth behind Jimenez. Meanwhile, Mundy claimed Pro-Am1 for In2 Racing.One of the race’s best battles came in Pro-Am2 as Liquorish (Team Parker Racing) had to push hard all race to see off first Kelvin Fletcher (Redline Racing) and then Peter Kyle-Henney (Parr Motorsport). Fletcher fought ahead of Liquorish early on, but then ran wide at Church and was instantly bundled back to third. Kyle-Henney immediately took up the fight on Liquorish and the result was in doubt all the way to the flag.Michael Meadows (Samsung UHD TV Racing) first overall:“That was very good. It was a case of third time lucky for me at the rolling start and I judged it really well this time. The car was good and I pushed a bit in the early laps, but then backed it off for the last few laps.”Josh Webster (Redline Racing) second overall:“It was the same result, but a very different race for me. I took a completely different style for race two and we were quick at the end of the race. That’s the best I could hope for this weekend.”Graeme Mundy (In2 Racing) first in Pro-Am1:“It was a similar sort of race: if the car was as good for the rest of the race as the first five laps, it would be good. It was strong from quite early on and was really good in the high-speed stuff.”Steven Liquorish (Team Parker Racing) first in Pro-Am2:“That’s why you come racing; to enjoy battles like that. We got the right result this time! Peter drove very well and didn’t make any mistakes.”Peter Kyle-Henney (Parr Motorsport) second in Pro-Am2:“That was good exciting stuff. It just takes one small mistake and that’s what I was looking for, but it didn’t come. Steven and I had pretty much the same pace.”Results round 6:Pro category: 1 Michael Meadows; 2 Josh Webster; 3 Victor Jimenez.Pro-Am1 category: 1 Graeme Mundy.Pro-Am2 category: 1 Steven Liquorish; 2 Peter Kyle-Henney; 3 Kelvin Fletcher.
