GRACIE MITCHELL Sweeps CS Class Podiums With Three P2s at Croft

September 9, 2026

• GRACIE MITCHELL returned from missing Knockhill to deliver three consecutive runner-up finishes at Croft, maintaining her perfect podium record while battling CS class points leader GABE FAIRBROTHER throughout the weekend.
• Qualified P2 after briefly holding provisional pole, posting a 1:24.413 despite two red flags disrupting the session. MITCHELL improved over two seconds from practice, demonstrating immediate pace despite skipping the Croft test.
• Race one saw MITCHELL consistently pressure FAIRBROTHER, posting a 1:24.383—faster than her qualifying time and missing fastest lap by just two hundredths. Traffic from Richard Hosking briefly disrupted both CS contenders.
• Saturday’s second race featured MITCHELL recovering from losing position to Giancarlo Romano at the start, repassing into Clervaux on lap two before mounting a midrace charge that closed the gap to FAIRBROTHER significantly.
• Sunday’s damp-track finale showcased MITCHELL’s adaptability on slicks, running strong through the high-speed middle sector on cold tires. Consistent 1:26s and superior pace through the technical final sector kept pressure on FAIRBROTHER.
