The Light Car Club of Tasmania has had the honour of hosting the latest round of the Motorsport Australia Tasmanian Circuit Racing Championships at Symmons Plains Raceway.

In a busy weekend, there were eight categories on show throughout the race meeting with 90 drivers spread across each and every category getting up to five races.

One of the standout performances of the weekend took place in the Holden HQs as an unchanged top two saw Andrew Toth secure five wins over Otis Cordwell. 
 
It was a similar story in the combined Sports GT B and Historic Touring Cars, with two drivers standing out amongst the grid - David Walker victorious four times in the Sports GT B class and Phillip Ashlin winning all five races for the Historic Touring Cars.

Both Ashlin and Walker ended up with two outright race wins apiece, while Dennis Howard was the other outright race winner, steering his Nissan 350Z to a race four win.


Just like the Holdens HQs, the Improved Productions had one dominant driver as Jared House steered his Torana A9X to a clean sweep of victories, while Shane Bond finished all but one race in second place, losing out to Stephen Nobel by less than one second on the fifth race.

Boasting the largest field of the weekend was the Hyundai Excels and the competition was fierce as there were multiple race winners Joshua Webster, Jeremy Bennett and Timothy Shaw each enjoying a handful of wins and podiums. 
 
In Formula Vee, Jeremy Dyer was looking good for a perfect weekend having won the opening two races, before a mistake in the third race saw him reach the chequered flag in third.

Richard Gray went on to win both that race and the next before Dyer ended up passing him early in the final race to make it three wins for the round. 
 

In addition to racing, fans were treated to a Regularity and Supersprint, which proved just as exciting to the wheel-to-wheel action. 
 
There were multiple winners in all five of the round’s regularity sessions, however claiming the most points across the weekend by the smallest of margins was Paul Giddins in a Mitsubishi Lancer.

After scoring the most points in the opening regularity session, Giddins had two challenging sessions before finishing in the top six twice. 
 
His total score for the weekend ended on 151 points, just one more than Toyota Corolla driver Phillip Isaac and Ford Falcon driver Bruce Thomas.

In the Supersprint, Beau Johnson got the fastest time of the whole weekend in the first session of the day ahead of Bill Rattray and David Rowell, while Rowell went fastest on Sunday in the third session of the weekend – beating Grant Medwin by just six tenths of a second.

The next round of the Motorsport Australia Tasmanian Circuit Racing Championships is will be on 2 July at Baskerville Raceway.
