7TH AND 8TH MAY - ROUND 2: PEMBREY CIRCUITDave 2.jpg

The trucks descended to the home of Welsh motorsport as they headed to Pembrey Circuit for the second round of the British Truck Racing Championship in May. Dave Jenkins was looking to take his form from the first round at Brands Hatch into this, the second round. It proved to be a frustrating one for Dave, as he was plagued with issues in his MAN TGX 12000 truck, which forced him into an uncharacteristic withdrawal from the fourth race of the weekend. In the other races, Dave finished sixth, fourth, fifth and seventh in races one, two, three and five, respectively. Dave added a further 42 points to his total for the year, leaving him in third place overall.

Dave Jenkins was in mixed form during the weekend as he had two podium finishes, highlighted with a race win in race three. Dave was plagued with suspension problems and was unfortunately unclassified in the fifth and final race of the weekend.
