The wildly contrasting fortunes for the Mini Challenge Trophy contenders continued into the category’s second event at Brands Hatch last weekend while the consistency of Josh Wilby propelled him into the points lead.
Pre-event top two Leo Purches and Ashley Gregory were both in the wars early on. Gregory’s woes started before racing began with a qualifying kerb strike causing her Cooper’s rear suspension to collapse and she lost a wheel. Several other teams helped the privateer get out for race one but her car was only repaired in time for her to start from the pitlane, ending up 18th.
