LYDIA WALMSLEY Returns to Top Step With CS Pro Victory at Silverstone Weekend

September 24, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

LYDIA WALMSLEY delivered a masterclass in adaptability at Silverstone, proving why wet weather specialists deserve our respect. Her bold mid-race switch to slicks in race one was the kind of strategic gamble that separates contenders from pretenders—and while she didn’t quite catch the leader, claiming fastest lap while starting half a lap down showed serious racecraft. That’s the difference between drivers who just follow the pack and those who create their own opportunities.
Race two belonged entirely to WALMSLEY, who seized the lead from pole-sitter Jonathan Moore on the opening lap and never looked back. Sure, the red flag shortened the celebration, but wins are wins—and this marked her third CS Pro victory in what’s been an impressive rookie season. The Graves Motorsport driver has only finished off the podium once this year, which tells you everything about her consistency in a championship where experience usually trumps newcomer enthusiasm.
The final race showcased both WALMSLEY’s racecraft and the frustrating reality of multi-class racing, where slower traffic can derail championship dreams. She led for seven laps before backmarkers compromised her defensive line, allowing Moore to complete the pass at Brooklands. Still, her second-place finish capped a weekend where she proved she belongs in championship contention—heading to the season finale at Brands Hatch still mathematically alive and clearly the driver to watch.
