Atech Grand Prix’s Tamás Pál Kiss has moved into the lead of the
Michelin Formula Renault UK Championship points table after the Hungarian took
victory and second place in the two rounds at Rockingham. Swiss Filipino Marlon
Stockinger took his first FR podium, narrowly missing out on a second in race
two but Briton Nick Yelloly was denied a podium finish when he was sidelined
with a clutch problem.
The weekend kicked off well for the Silverstone-based team with all
three drivers performing well in Friday’s tests and Saturday’s official
qualifying, the trio all in the top six for the opening race.  In that
Pál Kiss made a good start to
slot into second place ahead of Yelloly and Stockinger with pole-man Harry
Tincknell in the lead.
However Tincknell’s lead was short-lived with a charging Pál Kiss
desperate to repeat his performance at Thruxton when he took his maiden series
victory. On lap three the 18 year-old made his move to pass the leader with
Yelloly and Stockinger holding third and fourth
places.
On lap eight Marlon found a way past Nick to move into the final
podium place, the pair battling over the position for several laps.
However an engine problem, which started
on the fourth lap forced the unfortunate Yelloly into retirement two laps from
home.
Up at the front, Pál Kiss had gradually extended his lead to take
his second win in three races with Stockinger following Tincknell across the
line in third place.
The day’s second race produced another strong drive from Pál Kiss
despite proving a harder race for the Hell-backed teenager, as he took a
well-deserved second place.  Behind
him a good start from Stockinger allowed him to move into third place until a
throttle problem dropped him down the order, ultimately ending his race on lap
four.
For Yelloly, a superb start saw him gain two places on the opening
lap and thereafter a strong drive by the 18 year-old allowed him to take
seventh, some consolation for his disappointing non finish in race one.

“It was a great weekend again and I’m very happy to take another win,”
said Tamás. “Once again the team did a great job and I think all of us are all
really strong now. With all three drivers being so close and competitive, it
looks really good for all of us for the rest of the
season.”
Team principal David Hayle was equally delighted with the outcome.
“Tamás once again drove exceptionally well and his second win of the season was
very well deserved.  Marlon was
outstanding over the course of the weekend and this bodes well for the
remaining
races.
“Nick
was unlucky to have the problem he had in the first race but his speed and
ability over the remaining races will I’m sure allow him to soon take his first
race win.”

The Silverstone-based team will be back in action this weekend
when the series resumes at Brands Hatch in Kent over the weekend of 1/2 May.
