Solid start for the Team NZ squad at the Thailand Super Series opener

 

This weekend saw the return of the Thailand Super Series with the Team NZ Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 amongst its large entry as the cars did battle against themselves and the elements at the Chang International Circuit.

Returning for what we think is their third year within the series saw Grahame Dowsett joined by former AMR Drivers Academy winner Romain Leroux alongside him within his 17A version of the Vantage GT4 as they compete within the GT4 Pro class within the GT4/GTC races this season.

Heavy rain made its mark within Saturday’s opening hour long race after Dowsett had earlier qualified P5 in class, but a spin dropped him back to near last on track before a recovery drive from Leroux finally elevated them to P8 overall/P7 in class at the end.

For Sunday’s second race, Leroux had this time qualified the car upon the front row of the grid P2 overall and whilst pushing for the overall lead during the opening stint, had to settle for a P4 finish but third in class at the end.

The series now moves onto the Bangsaen Grand Prix in early July.
