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.

After the summer recess, the second half of the Ginetta Junior Championship got underway with rounds 11 and 12 at Snetterton race track.

Brad worked hard on testing and set-up and this seemed to pay dividends with a superb qualifying performance earning Brad 12th on the grid for both of the weekend’s races – and all this with the field 20 strong and very competitive.

Brad capitalised on his qualifying with round 11 seeing Brad start strongly and get up to 9th position and eventually finishing 11th, just 7 seconds behind the winner, Louise Richardson. Round 12′s race saw Brad slowed up behind a first corner incident, and then he was hit while following the pace car, but nevertheless clawed his way back up to 13th – just 0.1 seconds off 12th place.

Brad now lies 15th in the Championship and is one of only 7 drivers to have finished every round. Attentions now turn to Silverstone, which hosts rounds 13 and 14 on 21st and 22nd August, where Brad will hope to continue his improved performance.
