Richardson Racing enjoyed a stunning weekend of success at Silverstone, securing two pole positions, two wins, two lap records and two championship titles in the penultimate meeting of the Michelin Ginetta GT Supercup season.In the G55 class, Andrew Richardson produced one of the most impressive drives of the season to clinch his first overall win in the series, while a 14th G50 class success of the year helped Huddersfield racer Mark Davies to wrap up his championship title with three races to spare.The combined results from the pair were also enough to give Richardson Racing an unassailable lead in the teams championship with the season finale at Brands Hatch still to come.Andrew went into the weekend seeking to build on another solid performance on track at Rockingham a fortnight earlier, and things started well when he stormed to pole position in a tightly-fought qualifying session.Holding the lead through the opening lap, Andrew was knocked back to second place by Jake Hill on lap two and then followed his rival through to lap eleven, when he made his move for the lead. Having already broken the lap record, Andrew then produced a series of storming laps to pull away at the front and had the luxury of being able to ease off towards the finish as he clinched his maiden Supercup victory.From pole again in race two, Andrew was beaten into turn one by Carl Breeze but ran in a comfortable second place behind the championship hopeful before a forceful move from Tom Sharp at Brooklands damaged his car. With Hill also able to squeeze through, Andrew slipped back to fourth spot before he launched a charge back towards the top three. Once again setting the fastest lap of the race, Andrew closed back onto the tail of the top three but pressure from Tom Ingram behind meant he was unable to make a move for position and crossed the line fourth.Its been a good weekend and Im pleased to have got my first win, he said. I said before we got to Silverstone that we needed to get a victory to show our pace and its great that we were able to do it. Having taken pole, broken the lap record and set the fastest lap in both races, I think we proved a point this weekend although I am a bit disappointed that I wasnt able to at least finish on the podium in race two as well. The car was quick but the tracking was knocked out when Tom hit me as he got ahead, and the splitter was also damaged, so we had to settle for fourth.However, as a team we have wrapped up the teams championship with a round to go, and that is a fantastic achievement. Hopefully we can celebrate in style at Brands Hatch.For Mark, the focus at Silverstone was very much on wrapping up the championship title which he did in fine style with another impressive performance in the G50 class.Qualifying on class pole, the Fastsigns Huddersfield owner dominated proceedings in the opening race to clinch his 14th win of the season, coming home more than seven seconds clear of his closest challenger and breaking the G50 class lap record.That victory took Mark even closer to the G50 title, which he knew he could secure in the second race of the weekend. From pole, Mark again led from start-to-finish, although a five second penalty handed out by race stewards for running wide at Copse meant he was demoted to second in the results.Second was still more than enough to give Mark the championship crown and the Cardowan Creameries-backed driver will now hope to celebrate the title with a move into the G55 class at Brands Hatch for the final rounds of the year. I really wanted to try and wrap the championship up this weekend and hopefully I can now get into a G55 for the final round of the season and fight at the front, he said. We had a good run in the first race to take another win and that made things a lot easier for race two as I knew that I only really needed to finish to become champion.It was a bit frustrating to get the penalty in race two and I didnt see it, but in the end it didnt matter and I got the points that I needed to lift the title.Coming into the season, my aim was to win the championship and from the first practice session at Brands Hatch, I knew the car was up to the job. The team has worked well all season, and whenever they have suggested making a change to the car and have said what it will do, its done exactly what they saidand that hasnt always been the case with other teams in the past. At this level, they are one of the best teams Ive been with.For the Silverstone meeting, Mark was joined in the G50 class by Giles Dawson, the managing director of Aero Tec Laboratories (ATL) who was making his first appearance on a race track for two years.Qualifying fourth in class and 15th overall, Giles finished fifth in the G50 class and 15th overall in both races around the National circuit layout and could now elect to extend his deal with the team to include the season finale at Brands Hatch.I knew coming into the weekend that it was going to take time to get my eye in again, but I got there in the end, he said. I hoped I might be able to get a podium finish and I think I just needed some more time in the car to really push and fight for a stronger result.At the moment, the deal was just for Silverstone but when it comes to Brands Hatch, who knows?
