Rando Muru grabbed a historic podium for BackMarker Brigade on their Division 1 debut as after a gutsy drive to 9th in the sprint race, Muru made use of a nifty pit strategy to come home 3rd, battling for the lead in the gripping closing laps.
Muru, the sole BMB entrant this week, surprised everyone with 8th in qualfying and he spent both races battling around the top 8. However on the feature race, an early pitstop got him out of traffic and a clear run saw him shoot up to second with just a few laps remaining. However after a titanic scrap with Jeffrey Ruskus and Martin Palm he came home 3rd with a well deserved podium.
“I’m so pleased for Rando” said team boss Smith. “He works so hard and drove such aggressive and professional races, he deserved to be on the top step.”
Smith joins Gary Gray and Paul Huggett next week for division 2, while Gray and Smith along with Marco Vandenbroeck broadcasted the full race event over at PSRTV.
