JAMIE DEFENDS HUNGARIAN WIN
Jamie Cocks made it two from two in Hungary as he successfully defended his winning form from last season. In a race that was surprisingly lacking any real action once the race progressed, Cocks was merciless as he cleanly dispatched all in front of him after starting tenth. With a late electrical problem hitting Nathan Cornes, Cocks gained 21 points on his countryman, as well as N-Tech gaining 9 very valuable points in the constructors championship.
Ben Utzer scored his third points finish of the season with second ahead of Takahiro Yamaguchi, scoring his second podium of the season. While Yamaguchi clearly had pace and benefitted from people hitting problems ahead of him early, he was well too far behind to really challenge. Utzer on the other hand started off great, but was reeled in and then promptly left for dust.
Behind, Takuma Ishikawa finally scored points again, a very important 12 points after Cornes' struggles. Keeping both Joel Rautavaara and Harry Costello behind is a great effort for the struggling Japanese driver. Daniel Harvey took the black DTK to seventh, keeping Cornes behind him in eighth. Tapio Rinneaho scored two points for Falcon at their home track and Pablo Diehl took the final point for Ravenwest.
Sharp was eleventh, with Brugman, Ana and Graham close behind. Laskey was 15th, ahead of Josh Noack who made his full time return. Rui Martins and James McNamara were a lap down after the two were involved in an early incident with Sigoulakis and Rautavaara as well.
Bohner was looking good to challenge for top 5 until he had engine problems. Sigoulakis, Reed and Mishra suffered similar fates.
Next round is from the fantastic Spa-Francorchamps on New Years Eve.
