Louise Richardson secured another Scholarship Class podium finish as the Dunlop MSA Formula Ford Championship of Great Britain headed to Silverstone for the penultimate meeting of the year.Louise arrived at the 'Home of British Motorsport' on the back of a stunning weekend at Rockingham, where she secured her first class victory and also picked up the best overall finish of her single-seater career to date.An impressive performance in qualifying saw her place her Richardson Racing-run Ford EcoBoost-powered Mygale seventh on the grid for the opening race of the weekend, although her hopes of a strong result were hit by a mistake at the start that cost her valuable places when the lights went out.Having hoped to move forwards from her qualifying performance, Louise instead had to settle for eight place overall and fourth amongst the Scholarship runners.After a tentative start to race two, Louise soon settled into her groove and battled hard in the pack to take seventh overall despite suffering with excess tyre wear in the closing stages of the race.Hoping to end her weekend on a high, Louise then produced her most impressive performance in race three to bring home a top six finish; placing her second amongst the Scholarship runners for another class podium.Louise will now head to the season finale at Brands Hatch sitting ninth in the overall standings and fourth amongst the Scholarship runners.“It’s been a bit of a mixed weekend,” she said. “Qualifying went well but then in race one, I started to move before the lights went out and had to jump on the brakes. I could have been given a penalty but they must have decided that my start was then so bad that they didn’t need to! It turned out to be one of those races that happens sometimes, and I just had to forget it before race two.“I was a bit tentative at the start because of what had happened earlier but got involved in a good battle in the pack. It all kicked off behind me and a few drivers went off, which gave me some breathing space and that was good because I started to suffer with the tyres towards the end.“It was nice to get a Scholarship podium to finish the weekend, although I feel like I could have gone better myself. We’d made some changes to the car, which improved it although it still wasn’t perfect. Hopefully when we get to Brands Hatch, we’ll be able to hit the ground running and end the year on a high. I can’t really complain at a top six finish; I’m just left wanting more after the way Rockingham went!”For the Silverstone weekend, Louise was joined in the Richardson Racing team by Nigerian racer Ovie Iroro, who returned to action for the first time since the third meeting of the year at Thruxton.Having qualified 13th on the grid, Ovie’s opening race would end in disappointment when a clash with series newcomer Jessica Hawkins on the approach to Becketts saw him go off into the gravel and into retirement, although he bounced back in race two with a solid run to ninth spot.Another trouble free run in race three saw Ovie take the flag in eleventh to cap a solid return to competition for the rookie racer.“It was tricky getting back in the car after so long away but I felt more confident every time I went out on track,” he said. “My first target was to get back to the level I was at earlier in the season and I managed to do that quite quickly and then I had to try and improve.“The first race was disappointing because it ended so quickly after contact at the second corner but then things improved after that. I got a good start in race two and although yellow flags affected my rhythm, it was nice to bring home a top ten finish.“Overall, I think I improved every time I went out on track, which is what I wanted to achieve from the weekend.”
