Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit, 29th August and in Louise Kennedy’s own words:
What a day! We lined up 38th out of 48 cars in a combined grid of Turbo Tin Tops and Modern Classic cars. A delay in the program meant we changed to a rolling start and my goodness the Abarth flew away! Apparently I made up at least 6 cars on the first lap, even avoiding a couple of cars getting together. After a safety car period then a battle with two Porsche 911s (overtaking one and gaining every lap on the other) I handed over to JK ( Jason Kennedy ). Another safety car and JK got quicker and quicker, taking the flag.
We ended up 27th overall in the combined race (out of 48), 9th overall out of 20 in the Turbo Tin Tops race and won our class which was a bit of a given as we were the only car (well you have to be in it to win it). With one of the smallest engines in the race, we’re pretty chuffed.
Team Abarth win again
