Ending the year in style
October 2005
Report:
Mike Hayden
Strawberry Racing delivered in style at the
final of the B4 Group Super One round at Lydd at the weekend, winning both
the senior and Junior Rotax Max finals, in what has been a hotly contested
class all year.
Following on from his crushing victory in the Kartmasters GP race at PF
International in August, David Bellchambers won the Senior Rotax Max final
in style, using the new and promising prototype 2006 kart. The new kart
looked truly amazing and the former indoor kart centre champion
Silverstone graduate was never going to be beaten.
Former Formula 1 driver and Champ Car racer Justin Wilson's younger
brother, Stefan Wilson, won the Junior Rotax Max final, to end up fifth in
the 2005 Championship. Stefan has become stronger as the 2005 season
developed, and made sure he ended with the sort of flourish that he has
been promising to do all year long.
Sadly for the other Strawberry Racing drivers, Greg Harper could have won
the championship, but he unfortunately experienced an accident in the
final, which meant that he finished third overall in the Championship.
With Stefan in fifth place, this left Benjy Whitehead 12th, and Daniel
Lloyd 15th. The results were important for the Team, as it now means that
four of the Strawberry Racing drivers earned a 'number' for 2006.
The Winter Series is the next most important event on the calendar and
Strawberry Racing will be out in force, keen to capitalise on the Super
One successes of 2005.
