After a successful and historic opening round at Oulton Park over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, The Zing Trofeo Abarth 500 GB moves to Silverstone for round two. Racing promises to be close and exciting with a great mix of drivers making up the grid for the championship’s first races at the iconic Silverstone circuit.
The Zing Trofeo Abarth 500 GB has attracted a great line-up of drivers, with a mix of proven ability and upcoming talent.
Former BTCC driver, Gareth Howell will be looking to make the most of his winning start to the season, but there are several other drivers that could be between him and the podium including newcomer Benny Simonsen who showed that he will be one to watch in 2010, with 2 podiums in his first 2 car races ever.
Other drivers to look out for include Charlie Butler-Henderson, who was on the podium in race 1 and challenged closely in race 2. Former Clio Cup Champion Ben Winrow should also be at the front of the field. Another driver who is making the step up from carts to cars is Josh Wakefield who showed that he has the potential to do well in 2010 with some impressive times during round one.
Two races will be held over the weekend at Silverstone. Qualifying and Race 1 will take place on Saturday with Race 2 being run on Sunday. The driver with the fastest lap time from Race 1 will start on pole for the second race.
