Half Points Awarded for Shortened Cupra Championship Race

25 July 2003

Half points have been awarded for round six of the Holiday Inn SEAT Cupra Championship and the results of the race, which took place at Oulton Park on July 13, have been finalised.
 
With the race schedule at Oulton Park running late, all afternoon races were reduced in length – including round six of the Holiday Inn SEAT Cupra Championship race, which was initially reduced from 11 to eight laps. However, with a curfew forcing all racing to stop by 18.30, the SEAT race only lasted four laps before the chequered flag was deployed after four laps at 18.28.
 
The allocation of Championship points confirms Gordon Shedden as the winner of round 6 of the Holiday Inn SEAT Cupra Championship, with his first win of the series netting him 10 Championship points. It promotes Gordon to 2nd place in the series, two points ahead of Stefan Hodgetts (who didn’t start round six, following an accident on the previous round earlier the same day). Robert Huff finished 2nd in the shortened race and scores 8.5 points to extend his lead in the Championship to 23 points.
 
With four races and 74 points still available, the title is unlikely to be decided until the end of the final Championship race at Thruxton on Sunday 17 August.
 
‘Racing Rivals – Live’ at Rockingham hosts rounds seven and eight of the Holiday Inn SEAT Cupra Championship on Sunday 3 August.  In what will be a fantastic family day out, in addition to the exciting racing there will be live music. Hosted by Radio 1 DJs Mark and Lard, the Sugababes will be the star act performing live on stage.
