Matt White Wins BRCA National at Mendip

The BRCA Touring Car National season at Mendip came to a close with a fantastic win for long time Schumacher driver Matt White in the Modified class. Once again conditions were against the drivers with the track changing seemingly every five minutes, making qualifying difficult for many. However, Matt managed some stellar qualifying runs to take the TQ spot with his Mi4CX ahead of Olly Jefferies and Tom Watts. Schumacher’s Tim Langdell and Chris Ashton also made it into the main. Notable for their absence were Chris Grainger, Andy Moore and Elliot Harper were all down the field unable to put sufficient runs together in the changing conditions throughout the weekend.
In the Pro Stock class, the results conformed a little more to the norm with champion Ayrton Anderson continuing his domination taking TQ and the win ahead of Schumacher’s James Hart with his Mi4CX and Andy Murray.
A flag to flag victory for Matt in the wet in the first leg of the finals gave him a great chance to take the overall win. A slight blip in the second leg saw Matt well down the field but a second place in the now dry conditions of the third leg saw him take his first Touring Car National win! A fantastic achievement for a guy who has been a loyal servant to the Schumacher brand for over ten years. Chris Kerswell took second with Olly Jefferies third. Schumacher’s Chris Ashton made it into fourth from the number seven spot with Tim Langdell ninth. Congratulations to Matt on a great win and all the team for a great performance over the year.
