LEWIS-WILLIAMS WINS THE WEEKEND AT WINTON

Proving patience is important in racing, Chris Lewis-Williams capitalised on a good start to take the lead off the line in the third and final race of the weekend at Winton ahead of Mark Taubitz.

Chris stayed cool to hold his line at the track that is notoriously tricky to pass at, and was able to defend the lead from both Mark Taubitz, and then Cameron Beller after the former spun in his attempt to find a way through.

Lewis-Williams secured the round win by virtue of his race 3 win after two second place finishes in races 1 & 2. while Taubitz recovered to 7th place after his mishap, which was good enough for him to come second for the round overall.

Beller looked high and low to get past Lewis-Williams, but had to settle for second place, narrowly ahead of Adam Brewer, with Mark Verdino a bit further back in fourth place after running wide on the exit of Turn 10.

Lyndon Watson was fifth in the Don Watson transport machine ahead of Michael Westaway, the recovering Taubitz, Nick Carpenter, Andrew Goldman and John Vainoras.

Lewis-Williams takes the points lead after Jamie Westaway scored no points for the weekend, with Adam Brewer second ahead of Cameron Beller in both point scores. Mark Taubitz moves to fourth in the 944 Series points ahead of Mark Verdino, with the two swapping positions in the ladder in the Vic State Series Pointscore.
