Clare Vale Enjoys V8 Supercars Return
It was the first round of the 2014 Super Series at Zwartkops Raceway near Pretoria this weekend. It was the first race that Clare Vale has done in her RAM Mustang in over a year. She qualified 7th for the first race in the V8 Supercar class of the Sports & GT race and despite being blocked at the start, Clare drove strongly to bring the RAM Mustang home 7th of the V8 contingent.The second heat Clare got stuck behind a blockade of three Shelby Can-Am sports cars and ended the race 7th again, with 6th overall for the day.
“It was great to be back behind the wheel of the RAM Mustang V8 Supercar again. It’s been a long break since my last circuit racing event, and it took a while to adjust, especially after concentrating on drifting for the last year. I enjoyed every moment and really started to get to grips with the car by the end of the first heat. I was really looking forward to race 2, but unfortunately not even my drifting skills could find a way past the group of Shelbys in front of me at every corner! All in all, I loved racing with the V8 drivers again and we’ll be back for more races this season,” said Clare.
