A dominant performance at the 6hrs of Cadwell Park with PRO-AM claiming its inaugural victory in the Enduro KA series, winning by a margin of over one minute!
Over the weekend, we headed to Lincolnshire for the EnduroKA 6hr of Cadwell Park, aiming to capitalize on our strong performance at Silverstone in April. The driver lineup included Scott Thompson, Justin Roberts, and Christian Kelly.
During qualifying, Christian posted an impressive lap time of 1:57.758, securing the third spot on the grid.
In the intense heat, Christian started the race, swiftly moving up to second place behind MilnAir Racing's pole-sitting car. He maintained his position, focusing on tire and fuel management as we opted not to change tires, a crucial part of our strategy. After 49 minutes, the first Safety Car period occurred, prompting Christian to pit after setting the fastest lap of the race. Scott took over, rejoining in 12th place and steadily climbing to the top spot, showcasing the PRO-AM Racing KA's superior pace. Following another safety car period, Scott pitted and Justin took the wheel, eventually regaining the lead after a flurry of consistently quick lap times that he is well known for! Justin then handed the car back to Christian, who expertly managed the remaining two hours of the race, handling tyres, fuel, and safety car interventions to secure a first-place finish, crossing the finish line an impressive 1 minute and 10 seconds ahead of the Autotech Motorsport 64 car in second place.
A remarkable start to our EnduroKA season, demonstrating our potential for continued success throughout the campaign. We are incredibly proud of the team's accomplishments.
