Bitter Sweet Weekend for Amanda at 'The Ring'

County Durham racer Amanda Whitaker had a rollercoaster ride this weekend racing at Germany's famous Nurburgring circuit in rounds 3 & 4 of the European Historic Formula 2 Championship.

Having never been to the track before and with restricted mileage in qualifying, Amanda was impressively into her stride in the first race and despite a vibration causing a loose rear wing, she still managed to finish a solid 2nd in class behind German driver Hermann Unold.

For the second race a last minute setup alteration was made to the car by Father Ronnie who was drafted in to support her quest for the weekend. The changes to the Chevron proved extremely effective and Amanda was able to harry the class leader Unold in the opening laps. The battle was short lived however, as at the start of the 4fth lap she suddenly slowed to a halt with driveshaft failure.

Amanda's team mates also had a mixed weekend. British racers Mark Lindstone and Chris Alford went well with Lindstone taking a podium place in race one and Alford jumping to 2nd in his championship following a 3rd and win in class. Swiss star Christian Fischer was once again at the sharp end. Having taken over the car of team boss Oskar Christian after his own car developed problems in qualifying, he finished 1st in class in race one, but a suspected engine problem led him to retire from the lead in the second race.

Amanda nows stands at a close 2nd in class her championship, although she hopes to redress the situation at Silverstone in a months time.
