MOTORSPORT: Redditch speedster Mat Dawes gained three more podiums in round two of the Thundersport GB series at Donnington Park, despite heavy wind, rain and sleet.

He recorded one podium in the pre-national 600 class and two more top three place in the sportsman elite class. The poor conditions played into his hands and and with a few near crashes Dawes stayed onboard and managed two podiums.

Dawes has also seen Bromsgrove-based CNC Routing come on board to help him.
