Meadows ready for Carrera Cup GB round nine

Michael Meadows will be ready to contest round nine of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB at Croft today (Sunday 29 June) after a mighty effort by Redline Racing to repair his car overnight following an incident in qualifying yesterday.The Samsung UHD TV Racing Porsche suffered chassis damage when Meadows tried to rejoin the track at Tower following a spin. The step back up back onto the asphalt caught the underside of the car and damaged the front of the chassis, forcing Meadows to miss round eight of the championship. Instead, Josh Webster (Redline Racing) won the race to take over the title lead and push Meadows back to second place.The team took the car back to its workshops, fortunately only 20 minutes from Croft, and were joined by technicians from Road and Race in Manchester, the Porsche approved bodyshop owned by racer John Bradshaw. The Road and Race team then worked until midnight to repair the front of the car and the Redline crew finished the job early on Sunday morning.“The guys from Road and Race and all the Redline crew have done a great job,” said team boss Simon Leonard. “I can’t thank them enough for getting the car ready for today’s race.”Meanwhile, Meadows says his aim is to win the race as a way of thanking the people involved. “They’ve done a mega job and I want to go and get a win for them.”Meadows will start third on the grid for this afternoon’s race, behind Webster and Paul Rees (In2 Racing). Following round eight, Webster now has an eight-point lead in the overall title standings over reigning champion Meadows.June 29th 2014
