Century Motorsport’s success continued at the Silverstone rounds of the Ginetta G50 Championship. testing went well for both cars on friday with Nathan Freke being quickest in both sessions and Benji Hetherington 5th fastest overall in the 2 sessions. Following this it was important that the team carried the table topping performance into qualifying and racing. Qualifying on the Saturyday was a very tense affair with all of the cars going quicker than the Friday testing resulting in the table changing until the very last lap, Nathan taking 2 poles and a grid 2 and Benji taking 9th, 7th, and 5th.

The first race was a very close affair with Nathan taking the win by less than 2 tenths from Frank Wrathall, sadly after a race long battle benji eventually recorded a non finish after being pushed into a gravel trap - lots of late evening work for the team. Race 2 on the Sunday was very similar to the first race with Nathan just shading it by a couple of tenths from Wrathall, but without using up his 2 new tyres which had been saved for race 3. Benji recorded his best place so far with a sixth, but with lap times good enough for a podium.

Race 3 (the posponed race from Oulton Park), was driven on a damp track and tyre choice was critical, everybody except the TCR cars chose slicks and soon after the start it was evident that the choice was correct as the wet shod cars went backwards very quickly. Nathan folowed Wrathall off the line for 5 laps until he forced the leader into a mistake into Becketts when a clean overtaking move put him into the lead - which he held and increased by the end to 2 seconds. Benji had an excellent race eventually taking 5th place to record another best place in the series so far, in front of far more experienced drivers. In addition Nathan bagged extra points for 2 poles, and 2 fastest laps.

Both cars will be testing at Rockingham on the 5th September in preparation for the next rounds there on 19th and 20th September.
