EAVES TAKES RACE ONE VICTORY
Saturday 30 April 2005
Dan Eaves has won the first of today’s (Sunday) three
Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship races at Thruxton,
Hampshire.
Eaves, in his Team Halfords Honda, passed SEAT driver Jason
Plato in the closing stages to win in front of a huge crowd.
Third, closing on Plato, was Eaves’ team-mate Matt
Neal who has extended his championship lead heading into the
second of this afternoon’s three races. Neal’s
closest championship rival Yvan Muller came in a distant sixth.
Tom Chilton led the first half of the race in the Arena team’s
Honda but needed a pit stop to change a tyre.
Today’s second race is scheduled to start at 13.15.
