Peter Bowerman (aka Spear) 7th & 8th race in the FAA Classic & GTI Touring Car Championship (round 4) 12th & 13th November 2011 at the famous and exclusive Ascari Race Resort Spain circuit.
The weekend stated well with Peter Bowerman aka SPEAR winning the 7th race in class, after a close fought battle with Javier J Martinez with Antonio J Romero spinning out in front of them on the last couple of laps in his awesome Shelby Cobra.
Spear came 3rd in class in race 8 of the year after taking a heavy hit in the back and side from the Jose C Lirola's No 5 (green) GTI again!!!! this time Jose did not lift off, instead kept shunting Peter Bowerman No.7 around in a fast corner until Peter spun and Kissed the Ascari wall.
Peter quickly recovered but did not manage to catch up to the leaders with the damaged car, but managed to retain 3rd place with a few very close battles and misses with Eduardo Perez in his Citroen. After final races of the year at Jerez lots of body work will need replacing on Spears Lucky No.7 Black Golf GTI ready for the 2012 season.
