Brad completes season with double pole and 9th overall

December 2nd, 2011

Brad completed his second full season of the Ginetta Junior Championship with a double pole position in the last 2 rounds of the championship held at Silverstone.  Brad showed a strong pace in both races but, as with much of the rest of the season, Brad’s efforts were thwarted by incidents caused by reckless driving on the part of other competitors.  Indeed, the story of the season was again played out in the final race, with Brad holding firm at the front and looking good for a podium 3rd place finish, only for team mate George Gamble to make a lunge up the inside on the penultimate corner of the final lap – ending with Brad being punted off the track. Gamble was penalised with a fine and penalty points, but Brad lost a podium place he really deserved.

Despite the season’s bad luck, Brad still managed to finish in 9th position in the Championship overall – and his skill and pace was widely acknowledged up and down the pit lane.

Brad, now 17 years old, no longer qualifies to compete in the Junior class and so will look at other Championships to continue his racing career next season – hopefully finding a class that better suits his driving style, with a more professional, mature and considered level of competitor.
