We caught up with Hannah Chapman who races in the Mini Cooper Pro Class this season, and she penned us a few words after a hard battle in Race 10 to get on the podium.

"Absolutely buzzing to get my first Mini Challenge UK podium of the season!!
This year has been quite a tough one at times but with improvements made with every outing I’m delighted to bring home some silverware at last!
Race 1 I narrowly missed out on my first podium but race 2 was brilliant! Getting off to a good start side by side with Dom I held it on the outside into turn 1 which meant I had the inside for the next bit and took the lead! What a difference from being dead last at the start of the season! I held onto the top spot for a couple of laps or so but a small mistake saw Robbie capitalise and pass round the outside dropping me to P2. With a couple of laps to go though my ABS decided to fail but thankfully with a bit of caution on the brakes I kept it on the black stuff and brought the car home in podium position YESSSS.
A huge thanks as always goes to my team LUX Motorsport for all their hard work and giving me a car that feels so sharp every time out and to my sponsors who without all of which I wouldn’t even be on the grid!
