VREDESTEIN / SOILMEC JEC SALOON CHALLENGE & THE XK CHAMPIONSHIP
Silverstone 25th August 2007
See how the Saloon Championship would be shaping up (if it was one!)
17 Saloons made it to Silverstone, but had to share the race with the XK Championship which also had 17 entries. I have listed below how the saloons finished. It would seem that many Saloon drivers enjoyed racing with the XK's.
With 34 big cats on track at the same time there were some exciting battles, and all of them made the end of the race!
Tim Morrant won the Saloon race for the first time, whilst in the XK Championship race, novice driver James Tester took the chequered flag ahead of 33 other Jaguars!
.
Pic1 Peter Dorlin only managed 4 laps in practice. Pic2 Tim Morrant wins the Saloon race!
