Ellis and Bialan Take Cadwell Double Caterham Wins

18 July 2006

Jeremy Ellis made a superb start to the second half of the Motorsport News Caterham Roadsport Challenge season over the weekend (15/16 July), winning both his races at Cadwell Park to edge further into the championship lead.

With six rounds remaining, Bromley-based Ellis enjoys a 36-point advantage over Cheshire’s Adrian Argyros after clocking up six race victories in his Crystal Sport Holidays-backed car.

Gary Brown (Englefield Green) was Ellis’s closest challenger at Cadwell, finishing second to the Kent man in both races, with Argyros and Roadsport Driver of the Day Simon Young (Henley) the other podium visitors.

In Roadsport B, Dorset driver Gary Halcrow – a seven time victor this season already – had to be content with seeing his friend and team-mate Chris Bialan (Broadstone) take the honours. In the first event Bialan won by less than half a second from Hampshire’s Peter Flynn, and in race two Chris romped to a seven-second win over Bedford driver Martin Emerson. Halcrow was third in each race and Flynn voted the Driver of the Day.
