A DETERMINED performance from Lymm’s Andrew Bentley saw him seal second place Oulton Park’s Equipe GTS race at the weekend.

Racing his MGB for the first time this season during the Aston Martin Owners Club races, Bentley comprehensively blew the winter cobwebs away during qualifying.

He took third place on the starting grid out of 25 entries at Oulton Park.

The race itself saw Bentley dropping to fourth place by the first corner, before gaining two places in the next few laps.

Bentley then held his second place until the mandatory pit stop where he lost two places, but some determined driving saw him up to third place and sitting only two seconds behind second place at the start of the last lap.

By the finish flag, Bentley had taken that second place as well as second in his class and a trip to the podium by a margin of just a single car length.
