Summer Championship - Round 5: Tamiya Tourers Race 5 Recap
What a race we've just witnessed in the Tamiya Tourers class for Round 5 of the Summer Championship! Sophie Cowe took a decisive victory, crossing the line with a healthy 5.51-second advantage over Polly Gammage. Sophie's race wasn't without its drama, however. After starting in second, she made a crucial move on Lap 3 to take the lead from Polly, a position she would not relinquish for the remainder of the race. Sophie also set the fastest lap of the entire race, a blistering 12.94 seconds, demonstrating her sheer pace around the polished hall floor.
Polly Gammage fought valiantly, leading in the opening laps and maintaining a strong second place throughout. Her consistency was clear, with her gap to the leader never exceeding 8.89 seconds, even as Sophie Cowe pulled away in the latter stages. Ollie Gammage secured third place on the road, completing 9 laps. He showed flashes of pace, including a strong middle stint, but ultimately couldn't match the leaders' lap count in this particular encounter.
Robert Bevan finished in fourth place, completing 8 laps, while Damian McLean was fifth after 5 laps. A fantastic effort from all the drivers in a truly competitive Tamiya Tourers outing here at Sevenoaks Model Car Club.
