Bangsaen Thailand Speed Festival 2009 - Saturday, Thai Super Car Rd 7, race
Description
After the Super 2000 runners indulge in a lot more havoc on track in a 12-lap encounter that is won by Toyota Team Thailand driver Manat K who finishes 18.511 seconds ahead of Karn L who also wraps up the "Junior" category, its time for the headlining Super Car act and they start to form up on the dummy grid between the paddock and the 180 degree bend that skirts the SS Bangsaen Hotel opposite. The grid is a mass of people, TV crews and long-lensed photographers homing in on the drivers or the plethora of pretty girls that cluster around each car dressed in bright shiny vinyl outfits that catch the sun. All the usual suspects are here, the black-and-gold Singha-sponsored Porsche 911 of Vutthikorn I is on pole, when the car is running well he makes it all look effortless and if the German sports car holds together this afternoon he should be a synch for victory. His pole time was set on Thursday in a rapid 1 minute and 43.729 seconds and that gives him a gap of 1.139 seconds to the first of the red-and-silver Toyotas from Team Arto, the # 39 car of Nattavude C, who is just 13 points adrift of Vuttikorn with two races remaining to be fought out here before the 2009 title is awarded. The sister #19 Team Arto Toyota of Nattapong H didn't run during qualifying on Thursday after the car was smashed up earlier and he will start from the back row of the grid this afternoon. These Japanese silhouette racers sure look the part with their engines pushed right back in the engine bay <b>...</b>
