Qualifying
Wera Alliance Racing Academy driver Joe Marshall displayed competitive pace throughout testing at Silverstone and carried that momentum into qualifying. Narrowly missing out on pole position by just 0.052 seconds, Marshall secured a P2 starting position for both Race 1 and Race 2.
Race 1
Marshall launched off the line with a lightning start, immediately applying pressure to the race leader. He attempted a pass going into Brooklands, but after unable to make the move stick, settled into P2 to claim a podium finish while setting the fastest lap of the race.
Race 2
Prioritizing rear tyre preparation on the formation lap, Marshall executed another strong launch at the start. After pushing hard early in the race to mount a challenge for the lead, tyre wear and a track limits warning required a controlled approach for the remainder of the stint, crossing the line in P2 for his second podium of the event.
Race 3
A rain shower just before the cars took to the track created challenging conditions for the final race. Despite a sub-optimal launch off the line, Marshall closed down the gap to the leader and began applying heavy pressure until a late Safety Car deployment halted his charge.
Weekend Summary
It was a solid points-scoring weekend for Marshall and the team, collecting trophies across the races and preserving the championship lead with only one round remaining in the season.
