Race report: John Aldington Trophy 73MM – Members Meeting Favourite Moments

Jordan was pursued for much of the race by Mark Sumpter, in turn followed by Phil Hindley and a very sideways Mark Bates tussling for third. A quintet composed of Santiago Orjuela, Dider Denat, Juan Pablo Orjuela, Bill Wykeham and Chris Harris then battled throughout for fifth place.

A spin by Sumpter towards the end of lap four dropped him down two places, meaning the Hindley and Bates duel was now for second. A lap eight move up the inside by Bates at Lavant saw both cars side by side into the kink and despite a very sideways line through Woodcote, Bates made the move stick. The two remained inseparable for the rest of the race but Hindley was unable to reclaim the second spot.
