Back
with a bang!
Anthony
made a dramatic return to racing at Croft after a 3 year
absence. He was brought in by team mate novice Barry “Billy”
Gates who he has been driver coaching through Anthony's
‘IWannaGoFaster.com’
scheme.
Racing
in the Radical Enduro series in an SR3, Anthony stunned
series regulars by immediately topping the timesheets in
the first free practice session …ahead of old BARC
Renault nemesis Nick Dudfield! In qualifying he carried
on his impressive form by placing the car on the front row,
less than 3 tenths of a second from eventual double race
winner Nigel Redwood.
Although
the pair finished 7th in the first race, Dunn set fastest
lap a full three quarters of a second clear of a quality
field including Redwood and team mate ALMS Lola star Ben
Devlin who leads the championship. In
the second race, an electrical problem sidelined Gates after
16 laps.
“Barry
did a great job to be close to the pace around somewhere
as testing as Croft on only his 2nd ever race weekend –
he should go well once fully acclimatised to the car. The
team made a fine effort with the car and I also have to
thank another member of our household (girlfriend and ex-Croft
lap record holder) Amanda
Whitaker for giving me a few circuit tips myself!”
Dunn said after the weekend.
Anthony
& Barry pair will compete again in the Britsports Winter
series at Brands Hatch in November.
