Daniel Clarke #7 started the race and made it safely round the first corner. I never saw him after that, others weren't even that lucky.
 4 cars didn't make it through. Last edited by blackfalcon; 20 Apr 2003 at 22:03. |

I'm just looking at the results and only cars that went out from lap 2 are classified dnf. Noone out on the first lap gets a mention.

I would suspect that all the drivers that went out on the first lap would be counted as a did not start, rather than as a did not finish. A race restarted so early on after a red flag would be classed as a 'completely new race'.
I believe Gaymor had something happen in the first race too, hence why he was so far down the pecking order. Many drivers obviously forgot that the championship is over 10 rounds and twenty races, and it is easier to put yourself under pressure at the start of the season by having a zero right at the beginning. |

What was Clucas out in? MST said "Championship" car which I assume is a 2003 spec machine, but was it a Mygale? And if it was a Mygale why is he at Jamun and not the Factory team (where *did* they go anyways?)

I was under the impression it was his Avon Jr winning car from last year. The 2003 and 2001 Mygales look very similar though so I'm not sure. Here is a piccy:

On the tv coverage today , they said he was out in a year old car , but entered in the Championship class simply because as Winner of the Junior series last year , he isnt allowed into the Scholorship class ..

Yes it's the 2001.
there is currently only one 2003 Mygale in competition and it made its debut today and won. Nelson van der Pol won an exciting race until his main competitor stopped with gearbox problems. Geva Racing were 1-2 http://www.pittalk.nl/uploads/nieuws...pol_210403.jpg |

I thought the Championship and Scholarship classes were differentiated by driver experience rather than age of car?

The scholarship class /junior class of last year is for one year old cars or older, regardless of how many years they have been driving. The championship cars /senior cars are primarily NEW cars due to everyones belief that the new cars are always better than the old cars.
Ben is entered in the championship class, but in a two year old Mygale. It is the same car he raced all last year in the junior series, including the festival. It was a former car from Haywood racing. Jamun and Ben have done a lot of development of the car and they all work together well as a team. I'm sure they may try the 2003 car out once they have carried out enough testing and development of it. The old addage if it ain't broke don't fix it springs to mind! |

Even F1 is proving there's not neccessarily a need for the latest greatest freshest kit every weekend.

"Never leave a winning line" is an old gambling adage that springs to mind. The car is obviously good, particularly at this time of year, and Ben is on top of it. He'll be tough to beat till the weather changes, I suspect.
I heard he was only on a one-race deal with Jamun? That would be a real shame if true. You can't ask much more from Ben. |

Well, yes you could ask more from Ben, of course - if I was Mr Jamun, I would be asking him to pay for it, but you know what I mean.

Surley winning both rounds at Mondello will help Ben get some money to carry on his season !
Reminds me of Matt Davies and Team Avanti a couple of years back . |

There was talk of a £10k prize for a scholarship car winning a race outright. I wonder if that will ever appear and allow ben to do some more races.

Probably not on the competitiors bulletin it says he is entered as a championship class car.
However if that is the case then it would make his car illegal because it does not have a symmetrical air intake |
