BRANDS HATCH INDY CIRCUIT - MRO ROUND
8.
14th - 16th Aug 2005.
Pembrey Injury rules
Andy out of action.
Unfortunately
after Andy's crash at Pembrey, his injuries have meant that Andy and
Team Triple MMM Racing could not race at Brands Hatch. With some
damage to Andy's spine, his doctor ruled Andy out of action.
To be honest,
even if the doctor had given Andy the OK, he would have really
struggled on the bike as he is still in a lot of pain. Riding at any
pace would have been unbearable.
In the end,
the team decided to go along and watch the race meeting.
The MRO
2005 GP250 Championship was finally won by Chris Bishop, so well
done to him. Dan Tarratt finished 2nd, with Alex Kenchington in 3rd.
A notable
performance was put in by Alex Kenchington. He had qualified well.
His race 1 victory was stunning. Coming from 9th exiting the first
corner, and gradually making his way through the field to take the
win. The championship was looking very good for him.
Unfortunately,
Alex got involved in somebody else's crash in race 2, so his chance
for the championship was gone. But in his own words "That's Racing".
I think my words would have been a bit stronger....
