Holmes Racing's Paul Holmes and his KTM Race quad went 2-1-1 on the day to take the overall win

Aberdeenshire, Scotland (6/1/2010) - Round 3 of the Scottish Championship was held this bank holiday weekend at the stunning circuit of Rhynie in Aberdeenshire. With the weather being mild and the circuit prepared perfectly the day was set for some exciting racing for those fans that made the trek up north.

Race 1 saw the current points leader Paul Holmes get a good start making it around the first corner in 2nd place. With the track in a perfectly smooth condition the lap times were very fast and with a tough track to pass on Holmes had to settle for 2nd place but along the way record the fastest lap time of the race with a 2:05.780 in lap 6.

Race 2 began in a similar way for Holmes rounding the first corner in 2nd place and start to work on the leader, with only a few passing opportunities opening up on the high speed circuit, Holmes worked hard and managed to make a pass for the lead on Beda just coming up to the half way point. Holmes continued his momentum until the chequered flag, taking the win.

As the rain began over the circuit for Race 3, Holmes didn't get the ideal start seeing him round the first corner in 4th. Being behind other riders making visibility poor, Holmes soon made the pass for 3rd before the second corner. Continuing his charge to the front, Holmes past Beda before lap two was complete and starting closing in on leader Mitchell setting another fastest lap of the race with a 2:09.031 showing how much the rain had slowed the racing down from race 1. Holmes made a pass on Mitchell for the lead at the half way point and started pulling a small gap, with concentration levels high to prevent any spin outs Holmes calmed the original pace and stayed consistent until the finish taking another win making it 8 wins from the seasons 9 races.

With another overall 1st place in the bag making it 3 from 3 Holmes commented after the days racing;

"It has been a great day for me and the team, we put in a lot of hard work since my last race in Italy and really feel we have a good set-up now heading into the next European Championship round in Poland. The organization has been great today and the track was awesome even with the rain. I'm pleased with my speed and happy to extend my Championship lead and want to once again say a huge thanks to my team, all my sponsors and family"
