Verschoor wins

Motor sport: Richard Verschoor has won his third Saturday race in a row in the Toyota Racing Series at Hampton Downs in stifling hot temperatures of 42 degrees. The Dutch teenager led from start to finish from pole position and has slightly closed the gap to his two main championship rivals. "I didn’t push from the start," said Verschoor. "There were a lot of marbles [small pieces of rubber] out there and I didn’t want to make a mistake." With series leader Marcus Armstrong pressuring him after making a demon start from the second row of the grid, Verschoor eventually did go slightly off line. "I made one little mistake and then he was right behind me," said Verschoor.
