Final Rounds - Brands Hatch
Jack and the team arrived at Brands Hatch in high spirits after his double success at Rockingham.
Friday saw Jack out in the practice sessions on old rubber as he needed to keep his tyre allocation for the weekends qualifying and races. Even on old rubber Jack put in some very quick times that saw him in P5 & P6 in the free practice sessions. Knowing that these times were achieved on old tyres, Jack was positive going into Saturday’s qualifying session.
Qualifying
As the temperatures soared to new heights the track temperature was also rising to above 29 degrees. In the scorching heat Jack took to the track for the last qualifying session of the season. Within minutes he was P4 with just 3 tenths of a second separating him from pole position.
On his second set of new tyres he found 4 tenths on his flying laps and thought that he had done enough to secure pole position, however several other drivers also found some pace on new tyres and Jack was pushed to P6 for Round 15 and P5 for Round 16 of the Championship.
Round 15
With the sun still shining, Round 15 of the Air Asia Renault Clio Cup saw the red lights go out and the race begin. Jack made his way up to P4 off the start and as he reached Druids was side by side with Luke Wright. Wheel to wheel contact snapped the steering, pitching Jack and Luke into the wall on the exit of Druids on the run down to Graham Hill Bend.
With both cars badly damaged, neither could re-join the race and sadly had to retire from Round 15.
Round 16
Due to severe damage to the shell and underside affecting its integrity, Jacks car was deemed to be a write off and could not be fixed to take part in the final round of the Air Asia Renault Clio Cup. A very disappointing end to the season for Jack and the team.
Season Round Up
Jack has had many successes throughout the season with 7 podiums (3 wins, 2 second places and 2 third places). Despite 4 DNF’s, and with all rounds of the Championship counting this year, Jack still finished an excellent 5th in the Championship.
Jack would like to say a massive thank you to all the sponsors and supporters this year, he said “Thank you to my sponsors and supporters throughout the year who have made everything possible and every success a little more special!”
