Zak Smith wins Round 5 of British Championship

Zak Smith has won the penultimate round of the British Electric Touring Car Championship at West London.  The Schumacher driver claimed his second consecutive win of the season when he beat Top Qualifier Ben Cosgrove and championship leader Kyle Branson.  Qualifying second, Smith opened the triple A-Mains with a big winning margin over Awesomatix’ Cosgrove and Peter Eagles with Branson’s Xray fourth.  Branson, winner of Rounds 1 & 3 of the championship, would take A2 with Smith only fifth.  With it all on the line in A3, Cosgrove would convert his TQ starting position into a win but with Smith second and Branson back in 7th, it was enough for Smith to add to his Mendip victory from a month earlier.  Cosgrove would end up with best finish of the season with second while Branson completed the Round 5 podium.
