Walton's Weekend Of Ups And Downs
It was a mixed weekend for Simon Walton in the penultimate round of the VAG Trophy at Thruxton. The Audi TT driver was wiped out of the second race of the weekend, caught up in a collision between Ben Wallace and Callum Jenkins in their VW Golfs, only hours after taking a win in the opener.
The race was red-flagged, cutting short Brayden Fletcher’s battle with championship leader and eventual racewinner Paul Taylor. Kenan Dole, who narrowly avoided the crash, inherited third, having finished second in the opening race, and moved ahead of Wallace in the title fight.
Dole went on to triumph in the following day’s VW Racing Cup opener. He carved his way through the field from the third row of the grid, leaving Darelle Wilson, Tom Witts, Kieran Gordon, and Bobby Thompson to squabble over second place. Thompson claimed the runner-up position before winning race two, beating Dole, Jamie Bond, and Witts in a four-way battle for the victory.
