CADWELL WINS FOR WALKER & BROAD
Ben Corley | September 3, 2007
The Circuit Driver Caterham Academy is set for a thrilling finale in October following race wins yesterday (Sunday) at Cadwell Park for Jonathan Walker and Philip Broad.
Walker claimed a handsome five-second victory in the Academy Group 1 race to claim his third win of the season and extend his championship lead to 13 points ahead of next month’s Brands Hatch season-closer.
Pole-sitter Jonathan overcame early leader David Townrow on the second lap and stayed in front for the duration. Townrow slipped to fourth but profited from a last-lap tangle between Chris Walne and James Cunningham while they disputed second. Townrow nipped past to take runner-up spot with Walne recovering to third. Tommy Keet chucked away his front-row grid advantage with an opening-lap spin; he placed eighth after posting fastest race lap.
In Group 2, Broad’s maiden race win came after pole man Mark Figes came to grief on the opening lap following a collision with the cars of early leader JJ O’Malley and James Chan; Figes retired but the others were able to continue.
O’Malley came home 12th, dropping him from the championship lead to third overall, seven points behind new leader Broad. Magd Mohaffel finished second to Broad at Cadwell and moves into championship runner-up slot also.
Chan drove a blinder after his first-lap problem, posting fastest lap on his fight back to fourth behind Broad, Mohaffel and John Kane.
Group 1 overall placings after round 6
1 Jonathan Walker 111 points; 2 Tommy Keet 98; 3 David Townrow 90; 4 Chris Walne 87; 5 Stephen Tucker 84; 6 Andrew Stanford 80 etc.

1 Philip Broad 109; 2 Magd Mohaffel 106; 3 JJ O’Malley 102; 4 James Chan 95; 5 Mark Figes 86; 6 John Kane 84 etc.
