Welsh racer wins in Wales to head Formula Renault Championship#

Singleton takes the champagne!

At long last we have some young Welsh racers making tracks in single seater racing and Richard Singleton from Conway driving his RS Racing Formula Renault 2000 car won the 9^th round of the 2006 BARC Formula Renault championship at Pembrey on Sunday, to extend his lead in the championship.

Singleton, who started from pole position, dominated the race from the outset, leaving his main rivals, Jordan Oakes & Rossi scrapping for the minor places.

Quickly building up a 2 second gap, he began to extend it throughout the race on his way to his 4^th win of the season.

Afterwards Richard said "The plan is always to get into the lead and pull way, but rarely does it go so well. The car was good, there was so much grip and I could see Jordan & Rossi fighting in my mirrors so I knew I had to go for it while I had the chance"

Singleton now has a 17 point lead over 2^nd place man Jordan Oakes.

Singleton was also backed up by his RS team-mate Hywel Lloyd from Corwen, who finished in a fighting 5^th place.
