Harry remains Rookie Championship leader with Al Juffali seventh

Harry Gamble continues to lead the Ginetta GT Academy Rookie standings with Elite Motorsport team-mate Ali Al Juffali seventh after the latest three races at Donington Park (25-26 May).

Gamble moved into third place in Race 1 on the second lap, Harry going on to keep his 100% podium finishing record intact while Al Juffali made up three-places from his grid position to record 11th overall after the race ended prematurely.

Harry progressed to fourth on the opening lap, survived a moment on the wet grass and being hit up the rear in Race 2, the first time this season Gamble had finished off the overall podium. Al Juffali diced for 12th before being shunted very hard up the rear in the closing minutes causing a Red Flag.

 

In the final race, Gamble recorded his fifth overall top-three finish from six races with Al Juffali recording another 12th place to reward the Elite team who worked hard in getting his car repaired.

* The G56 GTA Ginetta is powered by a 3.7-litre engine producing 270bhp.

Eddie Ives, Team Owner & Manager

“Having had limited experience at Donington, Ali did a good job, constantly improving on his speed and race craft. 

“He was very unfortunate to end up in an accident in the second race but our team did a great job in getting the car repaired and back out for Ali to contest Race 3.

“Once again Harry did a very solid job and his pace came alive in the final race of the weekend. 

“He maintains his championship lead heading into Anglesey next month.”
