Just a quick update for all you SYW crew and anyone else who followed the "Be an F1 Driver" on tv this year. Stratton raced at Rockingham on the 21st September in the Ginetta series. He drove the car for the first time on the 19th when he arrived for his test session. Qualifying was on Sunday where he managed to get 6th on the grid. He was driving in one of the two factory owned Grand Turismo 4 team cars. Stratton made a really bad start and dropped from 6th to 10th .
. Throughout, the laps positions were changing fast. He clawed his way up into 3rd but was taken on the final lap by two cars after nearly being pushed into the wall. Stratton finished in a most respectable 5th and even got some silverware for his efforts. It was a great race to watch and for his first race should be very proud of himself. I think people thought that he was all mouth and was just the lad off a tv comp. He shocked a fair few people on Sunday and got very positive feed back.
Well done Stratton
