2012 F1RWRS Belgian Grand Prix
The 2012 F1RWRS Belgian Grand Prix was the fifth race of the 2012 F1RWRS season. The race was won by Phoenix McAllister driving for his own team, but the race was remembered best as the catalyst for a series of arguments and both on- and off-track incidents involving primarily Barii Mori and Sammy Jones, but also McAllister and Rhys Davies, that would ultimately lead to three of the four drivers being handed multiple race bans later on in the season.
Race Report
Pre-Qualifying and Aguri Suzuki Cup
Barii Mori topped pre-qualifying with a 1:39.11 over Chris Dagnall and Phoenix McAllister. 2010 champion Gary Cameron was the quickest of the non-qualifiers. Frank Zimmer, James Davies, Darren Older Jr. and Luca Pacchiarini joined him on the sidelines. The Aguri Suzuki Cup was won by Dean O'Lauchlan who beat Zimmer and Damon Cannon to take the win. O'Lauchlan's win would prove to be the last in the Aguri Suzuki Cup as the cup was dissolved after the Belgian Grand Prix due to lack of interest from fans and media.
Qualifying
Qualifying was tightly contested but McAllister made good on his pre-qualifying pace to take pole by 0.04 seconds. He was followed by Hagane Shizuka in the Manx-Anglo-Nippon. Super Aguri Footwork Team Phoenix Honda had a good day with Mori taking third. The two championship leaders, Kay Lon and Pippa Mann qualified sixth and eighth, respectively. The two RubberTex Jones cars qualified fourth and fifth.
