BMW Drivers Cup 2009
That's all, Folks! Craig Wins the 2009 Championship for a hat-trick!
Anton finished the season in second place, from Reuben in third
Winton - Round 8 - Anton and Paul share the honours
Eleven cars contested a very hot round at winton
Anton and Paul each won two races, with two second places each to share the honours
The Bell boys again showed Graeme the way round
____________________________________
Baskerville - Round 7 - Craig wins five, Anton wins one
Thirteen e30s made the trip to Baskerville for the best racing weekend of the year - Practice, Qualifying and SIX races
Craig, Anton, Geoff and Stan fought for the lead in virtually every race
Anton out-manouvred Craig in the last race to take the lead in a downpour, and then held on to win
Graeme got shown the way around by Sean and Chris, and everyone had a great time
____________________________________
Phillip Island - Round 6 - Craig wins three of three
Craig won all three races again at Phillip Island 26th / 27th September to take the series lead
Rueben finished second overall to retain second place overall
Michael made a welcome, well overdue return
____________________________________
Winton - Round 5 - Craig wins three of three, Matt Qualifies fastest (again)
Even the threat of foul weather couldn’t deter the largest E30 field this year from having a great weekend at Winton and putting on a crowd pleasing display of motor sport competition.
Despite having qualified on pole for race 1, Matt Martin couldn’t arrest an all-race win by the current BMW Cup champion, Craig Munro.
In his rookie season, Stan Armstrong is at the pointy end of the field, placing third in all races and staying within a car length of the lead pair. We're certain he will do just as well when he gets his car back to e30racing specs next year.
Excitement abounded throughout, with entertaining, close racing, highlighted by the duels between Craig, Matt and Stan; Anton Bergman and Paul Kertes; David Lumb and Simon Lynne; and the family affair between the young Bell brothers, Sean and Chris, and their dad Graeme who was in hot pursuit (his excuse was he had to start from the back of the grid after a DNF due to a rocker arm failure - Sure, Graeme - we believe you !!).
