Last month saw the return of ELMS to Silverstone, with 16 British drivers and 7 British teams on the entry list, with the British Racing and Sports Car Club( BRSCC) as the appointed organising club during the Silverstone championship round.

During the weekend, Motorsport UK went behind the scenes with JMW Motorsport, which has over 15 years of experience and wins at the 2017 24 Hours of Lemans GTE Am Championship, and currently runs the newest Ferrari 296 GT3.

Over the weekend Scott Noble( Bronze driver), Jason Hart( Silver driver), and Gianmaria Bruni( Platinum driver) and the team battled biblical downpours for a tough weekend of racing. Tim Sugden, Team Manager and racing driver with over 25 years of experience in GTs, Touring Cars, and endurance racing, shared his thoughts on the weekend.

“ It is so nice to come back to Silverstone, and it is great to be able to have a home race so that team members can bring their family.

“ In endurance racing it is hard to get your head round how you push for an hour in the car, two hours in the car, three hours in the car … the days have long gone when you take it easy. The biggest thing is just to be part of it, for a young driver they need to come here …. Drivers need to meet people, and put a face to a name.”

“ I feel amazing, it’ s nice to be close to home, only an hour or so away … So far this year it has only been in Europe so it is nice to be back on home soil. If you are looking to get into motorsport, just be patient. I think patience is key, and do not throw too much at it in the early days.”

Haydn Chance, Bretton Racing

“ Being Team Manager is not as exciting as driving! When you are a driver you think it’ s such hard work and you complain all the time, but as soon as you stop being a driver you realise it is the easiest gig in the paddock, by far, and certainly the most exciting. Yet, you still get the same feeling and the same enjoyment – just not quite as exciting.
