Additionally, the MG/Lolas had an excellent weekend at the ALMS race at Road
Atlanta. The Intersport car finished first in the 675 class(third overall).
The Dyson cars finished second and third in class (fourth and fifteenth
overall).
Also not to be forgotten the "big" MGs (actually rebadged Judds)finished
third and fifth in the 900 class(fifth and eleventh overall).
Not a bad weekend at all. Audi R8s first and second. Our beloved MGs 3rd,
4th, 5th, 11th and 15th.

MEDIA RELEASE:
MG WINS CLASS IN 9 HOUR RACE
MG ZRs finished 5th and 6th overall and 1st+2nd in their class from a
field of over thirty starters in the Willhire nine hour endurance race
at Snetterton in Norfolk on Sat 28th June.
Fiona Leggatt only started racing this year in the Mayflower Challenge
series for MG ZR and TFs. She drove at the formidable grand prix circuit
at Spa in Belgium earlier this month where she spun off at the
awe-inspiring Eau Rouge corner. This weekend she joined forces with
fellow series competitors Barry Benham and Colin Wilmot in a last minute
entry and came home in 5th place overall and 2nd in class 3.
The less powerful MG ZR 160 was driven to a magnificent win in class 4
and 6th overall by Andrew Dunlop and father and son John+Mark
Hammersley, making this their third win out of three races this year.
Andrews Dad, Martin Dunlop said: It was an absolutely brilliant result
for us and MG. To finish so close behind the other MG after such a long
race was fantastic.
