Hoy secures P3 in class at Spa despite race chaos

24th August 2022

It was another dramatic weekend of racing for Sir Chris Hoy as he dodged a multitude of incidents on the track at Spa-Francorchamps.

Race one saw a series of spin-outs – first from Yu Changwook after a swift retirement from Kim Hyunjiun, which caused a full course yellow. But once the lights turned green once again, Gorski also spun.

Chris said: “There were lots of incidents but I managed to stay out of trouble despite a couple of hairy moments.”

Although Hoy didn’t completely escape the drama. A complete loss of power steering for the second half of the race meant he had to muster all his force to simply turn the wheel.

The result was a P3 in class.

The fourth round of the Sports Prototype Cup will take place at Donington on the 25th of September. Keep up to date with all of the race action here or follow Chris on his journey through his social channels.
