Tamiya Tourers Race 5: Brown Takes Victory After Early Scare
What a finish to Race 5 of the Tamiya Tourers at the Sevenoaks Model Car Club! Damian Brown has taken the win, but it wasn't straightforward. Jack Brown started strong, leading from the off, but on lap four, Damian Brown made his move, taking the lead and holding it for the remainder of the race. Damian's consistency was key, his gap to the leader dropping to zero from lap 4 onwards and staying there. He eventually crossed the line with a comfortable margin, finishing 27 laps in a total time of 303.76 seconds, clocking the fastest lap of the race at 10.62 seconds.
Tim Webb pushed hard throughout, initially sitting in second behind Jack Brown. He moved into third on lap two but then settled into a strong second place for the majority of the race, finishing just over three seconds behind Damian Brown after 27 laps. Jack Brown, who led the early stages, had to fight back from third place after being overtaken by Damian on lap four. He maintained third for most of the race but ultimately finished one lap down on the leaders, completing 26 laps. Jimmy Zepp also completed 26 laps to take fourth.
Martin Timms and Oscar Pay, running in fifth and sixth respectively, both completed 23 and 22 laps respectively. Donna Belton-Timms unfortunately did not record any laps. A great effort from all involved in a tough Tamiya Tourers contest!
