One of our Upper Sixth pupils, Freddie raced in a Ginetta at a one-off event called the Silverstone Classic; a prestigious event with over 100,000 people attending. Freddie’s race was the Silverstone Classic Masters GT4 Challenge - a two-race event over two days in which various famous manufacturers compete such as Porsche, Mercedes, McLaren, Toyota, Aston Martin and Ginetta (Freddie's car).
 
Qualifying got off to a good start with Freddie being only 3 tenths off pole in second place to a Porsche Cayman. In the first race, a few issues with the car affected performance. In the second race, he took the lead at Turn 2, taking advantage of a small driver error from the Porsche. With slower straight line speed, a high tension and dramatic race ensued, with Freddie and the Porsche side by side almost every lap. 

On the last lap, triumphant Freddie made it first over the line to win the race and lift the trophy!
