GB4 Championship
At Silverstone, Fortec Motorsport’s Jack Taylor secured his first podium. After an eighth and a seventh in the first two races, he finished second in the last despite heavy pressure.
“There was a bit of confusion at the start and then after that, I just tried to say behind Finn Harrison. After last weekend’s reverse grid where we had a DNF, this one – yeah it was good,” he enthused.
GB3 Championship
Also at Silverston, three Aussies competed where, after a 16th and a 12th, Patrick Heuzenroeder (JHR Developments) was eighth in the last.
“I was on my worst tyres for Race 2 as I was trying to save them for the last race, but looking back, I would have been better off using them because my last race was pretty average,” he said after starting on pole position.
James Wharton returned with Fortec Motorsports for this round. The front wing broke in qualifying which made for a 17th grid position. He progressed to 11th, improved three places from 18th in Race 2 before a rear wheel issue in the last, hampered any significant elevation.
Out of the Chris Dittmann stable, Flynn Jackes had car imbalance which impeded qualifying before he picked up four places in Race 1 for 18th. After a second race 22nd, he picked up six position for 17th in Race 3.
Both championships have their next rounds at Donington on September 7-8.
