Lloyd Allard makes it 4th in VW Cup
Here is the final standings at the british VW cup. 1 Philip HOUSE 236; 2 Shaun HOLLAMBY 176; Mark SMITH 176 ; 4 Lloyd ALLARD 142; Martyn CULLEY 142
The Volkswagen Racing Cup season sped to a superb end at Snetterton yesterday (Sunday), with reigning champion Philip House claiming his second title and series newcomer Paul Taylor making a dream debut to win both Norfolk rounds.
Third place was disputed by the Bora of Berkshire’s Joe Fulbrook and 17-year-old Thackeray’s Exeter Diesels Golf TDI - a little too closely fought over as it transpired, for the pair clashed at Coram and again out of Russell on the seventh lap. The resulting damage forced Fulbrook from the race and delayed Hertfordshire driver Thackeray sufficiently to hand third on a plate to the TDI Golf of Cheltenham’s Lloyd Allard.
Allard was only just over a second behind House at the line, with Thackeray recovering sufficiently to hang on to fourth, a further eight seconds behind.
Congratulations to Allard for the first position in the diesel cars.
