Where on earth do we start with our weekend at Silverstone GP as part of the Equipe MG Cup!
It was a lot of firsts for us, starting with a new driver in the form of Simon Harding our very own workshop lecturer and his first ever race! Making it a 3 car team all piloted by our lecturers!
The next was this was in at the deep end, the full GP circuit but not only that but a rolling start and a 40 minute pit stop race!! Bwwooahh!
The sun came out for quali and our drivers didn’t disappoint and got straight to work.
Alex P1 in class, Gary P3 in class and Simon P3 in class!
After lunchtime checks by the 12 strong student team we were all set and ready to rock! 😎🤘🏻
Although this was a 40 minute endurance our drivers got straight down to business setting PB laps instantly!
An early safety car played into our hands with all drivers spotting the pit window had just opened and dived in to make the most of their mandatory stop.
As time went on it was clear our drivers were really hauling!
As time ran out Alex came across the line in the class c ZS, P1 in class and P2 overall! Next was Gary in the class B ZR P1 in class and P4 overall! And finally in his first ever race, Simon in the class A ZR P2 in class!! Silver wear all round 😎
Thank you as alway to everyone who makes this 3 car team possible and the students that worked impeccably well. On to the next one 😎
