Scooter Racing Round Five

Round five of The British Scooter Racing Championship and it was off down to Lydden Hill Circuit just outside Dover in Kent. Its a medium sized circuit of just over a mile in length but also very fast in average speed terms with fast lap times of sub 50 seconds! Interestingly its owned by Mclaren who use it for corporate events for customers of their road cars. Practice got underway on the Saturday morning in torrential rain and lots of standing water forcing the organisers to cancel racing until the afternoon. Thankfully by then the sun came out and conditions became ideal. Race one and Doug cleared off into the distance and earned a comfortable win. The third of the season! Races 2,3 & 4 saw Doug finish off the weekend with two seconds and a third place leaving him just off top spot in the championship standings with two rounds to go!
