Races 6 and 7: Snetterton, 12/13 June 2004Richard Chamberlain (935) and Craig Rapp (911 GT3 Cup) claimed wins during rounds six and seven in the Michelin Porsche Open Series at Snetterton over the weekend (12/13 June). Rapp romped to victory on Saturday when Chamberlain had a run in the 930 Turbo of Ty Watkins. However, on Sunday Chamberlain was back in his mighty 935 and blitzed his way to victory.Race oneAs Chamberlain gunned the 930 away from the grid the car's transmission broke leaving Rapp to take his second unchallenged Snetterton victory on the run.  “If the car hadn’t broke I’m sure I would have given Craig a run for his money,” said Chamberlain.Fast starting Henry Firman (911GT3 Cup) was soon in trouble as a tyre slowly deflated and he was unable to hold onto his second place. Firman was edged down to fourth by Gerald Harrison (911 GT3 Cup) and Brian Robinson (930), and it was Robinson who soon moved into second despite several difficult moments lapping slower cars.Tony Brown had his best result to date in his 964RSR and charged ahead of Harrison on lap ten, but spun at the Esses two laps later. “I was trying too hard to catch Robinson but recovered to retake third,” said Brown afterwards.Tim Bevan (944) did well to recover from a very quick spin at Coram on lap three while chasing after eventual class four winner Alex Eacock (944). Chris Egginton (968CS) triumphed in class two having caught and passed Gordon Matthew (944 Turbo), who then promptly spun at Russell.  “I had to push hard to make up for a poor start,” said Egginton. Race one – results (16 laps)1 Craig Rapp (911GT3 Cup) 20m02.538s (93.49mph); 2 Brian Robinson (930) 20m55.783s; 3 Tony Brown (964 RSR); 4 Gerald Harrison (911GT3 Cup); 5 Chris Egginton (968CS); 6 Gordon Matthew (944 Turbo); 7 John Allen (911); 8 Ragdan El-Akabi (Carrera RS); 9 Alex Eacock (944); 10 Simon Mifsud (944 Turbo). Class winners: Robinson; Rapp; Egginton; Eacock. Fastest lap: Rapp 1m14.283s (94.60mph).Race twoOnce Chamberlain had got the 935 up to speed, he romped away for his fifth victory of the season. “It’s nice to be back in the ‘old girl’ again,” said the winner after scoring a commanding victory.Rapp was a lonely second while Brown had to watch his mirrors late in the race as Robinson tried everything to close in but just lacked the extra speed necessary to take third place away. His second podium of the weekend was an excellent result for Brown and points to the car becoming a strong contender for class two spoils.An intriguing race long battle between Harrison and Firman had the pair swap places and paint as well as kicking up dust clouds around the circuit in their efforts. Firman initially led but fell behind Harrison on lap five.  Lapping traffic Firman clipped Tim Bevan (944) at Russell into a spin and when Harrison was slow out of Sear, due to a transmission problem, contact between the GT3s ended with Harrison spinning.  “It wasn’t his fault,” said Harrison sportingly, after rejoining to finish sixth. Chris Egginton was a clear class three winner to make it four wins from four starts over the weekend in his 968CS, while Alex Eacock (944) profited when Bevan was tipped into the spin by Firman to wrap up class four.Race two – results (17 laps)1 Richard Chamberlain (935) 20m15.395s (98.29mph); 2 Craig Rapp (911GT3 Cup) 21m21.780s; 3 Tony Brown (964 RSR); 4 Brian Robinson (930); 5 Henry Firman (911GT3 Cup); 6 Gerald Harrison (911GT3 Cup); 7 Chris Egginton (968CS); 8 Gordon Matthew (944 Turbo); 9 John Allen (911); 10 Mark Lillington (968CS). Class winners: Chamberlain; Rapp; Eggington; Alex Eacock (944). Fastest lap: Chamberlain 1m09.801s (100.67mph).The Michelin Porsche Open season now has a summer break until round eight at Oulton Park on 31 July.
