Silver lining for Brad at Silverstone with Top 10 finish
Brad competed in rounds 13 and 14 at Silverstone last weekend, and like the weather, his fortunes were varied and mixed, but there was a silver lining.
Having tested well, Brad was disappointed to qualify 16th on the grid for both races, and a first lap incident in Saturday’s race saw Brad hit and spin off. With extensive tyre damage Brad brought the car into the pits to change his rear wheel before returning to the action, though effectively this put him 2 laps down and out of contention. Brad eventually brought his bruised Ginetta home in 17th place to maintain his 100% finishing record. The team then set to work to repair the damage for Sunday’s race.
Sunday proved to be a race of better fortune, and with a great start Brad skillfully maneuvered his Ginetta G40 into the top ten by the end of the first lap. With others around him losing their heads, Brad managed to stay on the track, and although he lacked full pace he still managed a credible 10th place without major incident.
Brad now lies 15th in the Championship and takes his Ginetta G40 to Knockhill in Scotland to compete in rounds 15 & 16 on 4 & 5th September.
