Diamond Race- Interviews & Racing Videos & Results

After almost 3000 plays of the Racing video in less than 24 hrs, I’ve also now published a 10 minute ‘interviews & presentations’ video from the Diamond Race where 2005 World Champions Todd Haig and Kim Lumley secured well deserved wins. It was an incredible race with a record number of competitors taking part (around 90). My sincere thanks to Vera and Stefan for their help. Many thanks to Wim Lamot for the photos below.

Just briefly …Chris Stout led the full first lap before Wayne Mawer crept ahead and dominated 1st position until he suffered mechanical problems at the 30 minute mark. Haig took ownership of the number one position for the rest of race whilst Darren Kirkland and Dimitri Bertels fought it out for 2nd and 3rd. Kirkland finished just ahead of Bertels but the Belgian had a 10 second buffer to play with as he started a grid behind Kirkland which meant the Mens F1 results were; 1st Haig, 2nd Bertels, 3rd Kirkland.
