BTCC - Silverstone 17th - 18th September

Despite some strong finishing positions in the last few races, Adam hasn’t managed to grab a top 3 spot since Thruxton in May where he secured 1^st, 3^rd and 3^rd respectively. As the end of the championship gets closer, Adam was desperate for some really positive results at Silverstone to be in the running for the top spot. After a solid qualifying spot of 5^th on the grid, Adam was engaged in a tough battle with Rob Austins Toyota for 3^rd place after disqualifications for MG drivers Ash Sutton and Josh Cook. After a nail biting fight, Adam finished 4^th in the first race.

Race 2 saw an initial lead from Tom Ingram’s Toyota but the soft tyre choice left him flagging on the 7^th lap. This gave Andrew Jordan the opportunity to steal the lead with Adam moving up close behind him. The leading two drivers soon picked up the pace and finished with a comfortable lead over Tom Ingram in the third spot. Happy with 2^nd position Adam had this to say: “It’s amazing at this point in the championship to get a result like that, we’re looking to climb our way up the table with a good points haul here.”

The final Silverstone race turned in to a real battle for much needed points ahead of the season finale at Brand Hatch. Adam put in a top performance but was denied a decent position thanks to a drive through penalty for exceeding track limits. Adam ended up in 23^rd position.

After this weekend at Silverstone, Adam is now in 9^th position in the overall standings and 3^rd in both the Independent driver and team standings.
