BRITCAR PRODUCTION- 2ND PLACE WINNERS 2009!
The John Danby Racing run father & son team of David & Rob Fenn won second place in the 2009 Britcar Production Championship in their Motorsport Elise.
The Elise, developed by JDR throughout the season to be a race winning car, grossed the highest points score of all Championship entries, but went on to be awarded second place when dropped scores were taken into account.
Congratulations to David & Rob for an excellent debut season!

As they rounded the hairpin for the last time, all eyes were on the 3 leaders – and they crossed the line neck and neck for a true photo finish !
The next round for both Historic and Pinto are at Silverstone on the GP circuit – 2nd and 3rd of September.

At the start David Fenn made a good getaway in the JDR Lotus Elise and settled into third place behind the fast starting BMW’s. A quick and consistent pace kept the Lotus in the lead battle and when the safety car was deployed just as the pit window opened. A decisive pit call was made to change drivers and refuel.
