West Surrey Racing: Race comments

Anthony Reid said: "In race one I had a great start, but the ballast I was carrying made it difficult for me to mount a challenge. The second race was better with a third place overall and an Independents win. I was leading the third race until Matt Neal ruined it for both of us, which was a disappointment. Summarising the weekend, I had two independents trophy wins, two podiums* and a fastest lap. This should leave me clearly in the lead for the Independents trophy and third in the drivers championship".

Colin Turkington said: "Race one was not the best for me. The damage to the back of my car affected my handling and speed. Getting from 11th to 5th in the second race showed that I had the pace as I set fastest lap. Power steering failure in race three affected my final chance to get a good result. Overall the weekend didn't quite deliver the results I would have liked".

Dick Bennetts said: "Good close hard racing! I think Formula 1 should study the Touring car regulations!! The WSR MG's were definitely at the sharp end of the field this weekend, which was proved in setting the fastest lap in two races by Anthony and Colin. Two Independents Trophy wins, a third and second place overall shows that an overall win could not be too far away for the WSR MG's".

* Anthony Reid crossed the line second but was later handed a ten-seconds penalty by officials. Reid's penalty meant he fell to fourth in the provisional results.
