Danny Watts (Buckingham) claimed a superb double victory in rounds five and six of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB at Oulton Park over the weekend (13/14 May).
Race One
On a wet and slippery track for the opening race, Watts battled ahead of Tim Harvey as Damien Faulkner chased, while Phil Quaife claimed a pro-am category hat-trick.
Harvey (Witney, Oxon) got the jump on the field as the pack streamed into the first corner, but team mate Michael Caine (Newmarket) slid wide after contact with Watts. Initially, Harvey was able to edge clear, but Watts and Faulkner (Co Donegal, Eire) were chasing hard in the challenging conditions. Caine, meanwhile, toured into the pits with a puncture.
Watts quickly moved in on Harvey and dived ahead under braking for the Island Hairpin on the fourth lap. ���The team made the car so good,��� said Danny, of his Irwin Tools-backed Red Line Racing squad, from Stockton on Tees, Cleveland. ���It was down to me then.��� However, having built a five-second lead, Watts saw it evaporate when the Safety Car was deployed at the start of lap eight.
