GRRL! SUMMARY:
- RUBY SMITH delivered another solid weekend at Oulton Park, nabbing her third top-15 finish of the season despite never racing the challenging circuit before. The teenager showed smart racecraft in tricky conditions, gaining four positions on the opening lap of race one to finish 15th and proving she can adapt quickly to new tracks in the ultra-competitive one-make championship.
- Race two threw SMITH a curveball when she dropped to the back of the field on lap one, but here’s where we saw her real speed. She was consistently matching lap times of drivers fighting for top-10 positions and set her fastest lap of the entire weekend while charging through the field. That kind of pace when you’re at the back? That’s the mark of a driver who belongs in this series.
- The weekend showcased SMITH’s progression since her rookie season, building on her promising Silverstone opener where she scored two top-15 finishes. Banking championship points in both races at a circuit she’d never seen before demonstrates the kind of smart, consistent approach that wins championships. Next up is Snetterton in May, where we’ll see if this momentum continues.
