John George's run of bad luck during race days continued at Thruxton this weekend, despite a promising showing in free practice on Saturday. Race 1 was frustratingly disrupted on the 6th lap when a left front puncture at high speed caused damage to surrounding bodywork, forcing the TH Motorsport Racing with JAG Honda Integra to pit. After a swift tyre change and some running repairs, George re-entered the race, eventually finishing 18th, a lap down on the winner, Fabrizio Giovanardi.
