Fastest lap for Charles Bateman Carrera Cup

8th June 2010

Following a difficult qualifying session on Saturday at Oulton Park, Charles started the first race on Sunday from a grid position on the fourth row. The 7th round of the Porsche Carrera Cup began with drama at the first corner with the pole car of Micheal Caine being shunted off and into the tyre wall. Pilgrim Foodservice and Henderson Insurance backed driver Bateman skilfully avoided the mayhem and managed to thread his way through the pack to finish 5th out of a starting grid of 27. The ITV4 live coverage of the race featured Bateman’s car throughout the race with the onboard cameras. The overtaking manoeuvres providing exciting viewing and commentary.
 
In race 2 from a grid position of 11 the Boston based driver once again wove his way through the pack to be awarded the fastest lap before spinning off and rejoining the track shortly before the race was red flagged after 12 laps.
 
Charles now stands 6th in the championship with the next 2 rounds at Croft on Teeside on June 20th, again with live coverage on ITV4.
