GRRL! SUMMARY:
- After a challenging Donington debut, AIMEE WATTS bounced back spectacularly at Brands Hatch, claiming her first-ever Porsche Sprint Challenge podium with a dramatic last-lap overtake in race three. The Clean Racing driver proved her speed wasn’t a fluke by also securing fastest lap honors in the RS Am class during race one, showing she belongs among the frontrunners.
- WATTS demonstrated serious racecraft throughout the weekend, finishing all three races inside the top-5 and consistently running competitive lap times that challenged the overall field. Her breakthrough moment came in the final race when she seized a podium opportunity created by a rival’s penalty, then executed a brilliant outside pass at Surtees with just one lap remaining to secure third place.
- The weekend showcased WATTS’ development as a driver, with her pace improving dramatically from practice through racing. She showed patience when technical issues dropped her to the back in race one, then methodically worked her way forward while setting consistently fast times that put pressure on her rivals and ultimately delivered that elusive first podium.
UPCOMING:
- Porsche Sprint Challenge at Oulton Park – June 21-22
