With a car that looked fast, Smith was quickly challenging for sixth position against Mat Jackson for several corners before contact between the pair resulted in \u00c1r\u00f3n loosing a place to Rob Austin exiting the corner. While trying to find a way back past Austin, the flying BMW of Colin Turkington eventually caught Smith in the closing stages of the race gaining the place on lap 21. As the chequered flag fell, \u00c1r\u00f3n brought his MicksGarage.com supported Passat across the line in seventh position.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>Again starting race two from seventh, Smith got a good start but had to perform plenty of avoiding action exiting the first corner with Matt Neal\u2019s Civic and Rob Collard\u2019s BMW sliding wildly down Paddock Hill. The Safety Car had to be deployed at the end of the opening lap to recover the stricken Chevrolet of Chris Stockton. When the race got back under way on lap four, \u00c1r\u00f3n quickly dispatched former champion Fabrizio Giovanardi to move into ninth. Showing the straight-line pace of the car, Smith got a superb run on BTCC Rookie Tom Ingram to move into eighth coming into Paddock Hill bend and followed this up with a similar move on Adam Morgan on the run up to Druids to move into seventh where he would remain to the flag.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-0TwsVLknPI0\/Uzp592PxosI\/AAAAAAAABpE\/X5MMNLc0apE\/s1600\/1613976_616818061725871_1446507504_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"266\" src=\"https:\/\/images-blogger-opensocial.googleusercontent.com\/gadgets\/proxy?url=http%3A%2F%2F1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-0TwsVLknPI0%2FUzp592PxosI%2FAAAAAAAABpE%2FX5MMNLc0apE%2Fs1600%2F1613976_616818061725871_1446507504_n.jpg&amp;container=blogger&amp;gadget=a&amp;rewriteMime=image%2F*\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Starting down in 18th for the final race of the weekend as a result of an adjusted race two result combined with a five place grid penalty carrying over from race one, \u00c1r\u00f3n was hoping for some lady luck and the strong pace of the car to get him to the head of the field as early as possible. However Smith\u2019s poor run of luck in the races would strike again as an issue with the splitter could not be repaired despite a fantastic effort by the Team BMR crew forcing him to retire his Chrome Edition Volkswagen Passat CC to the pitlane.<\/div>\n<div>Speaking on Sunday evening, a surprisingly enthusiastic Smith reflected on his \u2018first day back at school\u2019: \u201cFor sure from a results point of view, this weekend hasn\u2019t really been what we had hoped for. But the first weekend of this championship with 30 cars, seven champions and plenty of people out with a point to prove was always going to be tough. But the positives from this weekend are that we\u2019ve got such a fast car, which gave no trouble this weekend.
