Spencer Vanderpal, Honda Civic Type R #44 in
the UAETCC Class 2
Race Day Summary
The track action is equally fast and ferocious in Class 2 where several drivers are capable of stealing victory including the likes of the Lap 57 Honda pair Omran Al Owais and Umair Khan, a2b Motorsport duo Spencer van der Pal and Jason O’Keefe, Aslam Moola (Honda), Zlatko Mulabegovic (Honda), Essa Bin Hadher (Honda) and the lone Renault Clio in the pack of Hondas with young up and coming Emirati driver Mohammed Al Mutawaa behind the wheel of the House of Portier car.
As soon as the race started this bunch were slugging it out. Essa Bin Hadher was the first casualty dropping out with technical problems while at the front Moosa and Al Owais were edging ahead with Al Mutawaa settling into third and this is how they finished when the chequered flag dropped. Moosa beating Al Owais by a hair’s breadth – less than a quarter of a second. Third went to Mohammed Al Mutawaa with O’Keefe fourth, Vanderpal fifth and Khan sixth.

Qualifying
A new car for Spencer this season, and a serious piece of
kit it is too, as it won the Silverstone 12 hour race in
2008. Unlike Jason, Spencer has been able to get a fair bit
of pre season testing in, to get used to a car that is quite
a step up from the Clio he drove last season. Using the 30
min qualifying session to test the car on fresh Dunlop
slicks for the fist time, he managed to Qualify 7th in class
with a 1.14.131 Lap
Race 1
Starting from the 6th row of the Grid, Spencer steadily
moved up through the field, with his pace increasing all the
time, so much so he eclipsed his qualifying time with a best
lap of 1.13.686 and a fantastic 4th in class finish.
Race 2
Spencer had a great battle with 16 year old Mohammed Al
Mutawa in the Clio, just missing out on 5th place by 6/10th
of a second, but getting quicker again with a fastest lap of
1.12.929, and is looking forward to resuming his battle with
Jason and the rest of the class 2 competitors at the Dubai
Motorsport Festival |
