Brands Hatch Finale

It was a double top ten finish for James in the grand finale of the 2007 Mini Challenge.

Setting off in fine form James surprised even himself when he posted the fastest time in practice on a track which is always fun to drive.

Qualifying in 12th, James really pushed in Race One in a great battle to finish 9th in the sprint race despite lacking front end grip.  The second race of the weekend was the longer race and it was set to challenge all James' talents.  An ABS failure shortly into the race meant James raced for half an hour with the anti-brake system, something you definitely want at Brands Hatch!  Despite this he was still battling and lifted the car to 8th spot.

The chequered flag dropped on the Mini Challenge in what has been an exciting season which sees James finish as second highest novice in his debut year. Well done James!
