Mark H Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 After an impressive performance in Rounds 5 and 6 of the Avon Tyres British GTChampionship at the Pau circuit in southern France during the weekend of 05 June 2006, Lotus Sport Cadena now heads both the GT3 Driver’s Championship with the driver pairing of Sam Blogg and Paul Mackintosh, and the GT3 Team Classification by six points, over second placed Barwell Motorsport fielding the Aston Martin DBRS9. Gavan Kershaw and Barrie Whight took pole in the Lotus Sport Exige GT3 for the first of the two races, but after a closely fought battle on the tight and twisty circuit, it was the Lotus duo of Chris Randall and Paul Whight who claimed first place in the GT3 Class. In the second race, after starting behind the two other Lotus entries, Gavan Kershaw and Barrie Whight complemented their pole position in race 1 with a class win and a ninth place finish out of 32 runners in the overall standings, finishing above both Ferrari and Lamborghini. Reflecting on the strong performance at Pau, Paul Whight, Team Principal of the Lotus Sport Cadena race team explains: “The car has been superb, and this gave us the chance to use different set up variations during the weekend which certainly paid off. The Lotus Exige GT3 is getting smoother and we are seeing a continuous improvement in its handling. The team continues to be excited about the ongoing development of the race car, and our relationship with Lotus is starting to blossom.” Rounds 7 and 8 of the British GT Championship will be held at Mondello Park, Ireland on 25 June, 2006.
