Disappointment at Silverstone in Britcar 24hrs Support Race

A huge 54 car entry was taking part in Friday qualifying around the Silverstone Arena Grand Prix circuit. Kat had set her sites high, after simulation practice, which was a substitute for no testing for the new Grand Prix layout. However after leaving the holding area to join the circuit for qualifying, it became apparent that Kat wasn't going to be in the hunt. The car was stuck in 6th gear, with a braking issue also hindering her. Kat limped round for the 20 minute session, which resulted in her worst qualifying position all year.

Kat had it all to gain in the first of the weekend's races on Friday. As the lights dimmed, she launched off the line gaining position after position. Kat worked her way up the order, with some ballsy over takes. Starting 36th on the grid and finishing 17th when the chequered flag dropped.

Due to Friday's poor qualifying, Kat had to start from the back of the grid for Saturday's race. Again, a blistering start saw her quickly progressing up the order and by lap three, Kat had made up 27 places, but it wasn't going to last. On the fastest section of the track, Kat had a brake failure, resulting in the Dallara going off and being unable to finish the race.
