EAVES MAKES IT A DOUBLE!
Dan Eaves has won the second of today’s (Sunday) three
Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship races at Thruxton,
Hampshire – adding to his victory in the first race,
held this morning.
Eaves, in his Team Halfords Honda, romped away from the field
to win comfortably from pole position. His win means he is
tied for the lead of the championship with team-mate Matt
Neal heading into this afternoon’s third race.
Neal finished second after passing Vauxhall’s Yvan
Muller in the late stages. Muller, who came home in third,
was lucky to stay on the track early on after a clash with
arch enemy, SEAT’s Jason Plato.
The championship’s top ten reversed grid rule means
that Eaves will start the third race from tenth position on
the grid, with Neal ninth, Muller eighth and so on. On pole
position, after finishing tenth in race two, will be Vauxhall’s
new signing Gavin Smith.
Today’s third race is scheduled to start at 16.30
