FREQUENT heavy showers, tricky track conditions and the introduction of the Joker Lap in the Suzuki Challenge Series Swift Cup all contributed to a day of epic racing, which had thousands of fans on their feet at the Williams Industries Digicel International Race Meet at Bushy Park Barbados on Sunday.

Mark Thompson (Team Rock Hard Cement) returned to winners’ row to peg back Team Suzuki driver Ryan Peyrau’s Swift Cup lead from 39 to 21 points, but the big winner of the day was David Summerbell Jr (Team Simpson Finance), who won the other two races, leaping from sixth to third in the standings, 21 points behind Thompson.

In the SR3 Cup, race three winner Stuart Maloney extended his lead from seven to 22 points, with his brothers swapping places in the standings. (PR)
