CHALLENGING WEEKEND FOR 360 TRIO

The Hagerty Radical Cup UK was out on the Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit, proving to be a challenging weekend for all, with a very wet finale.

Jason Rishover was quickest of the 360 Racing trio, qualifying fourth, with team mates Jacek Zielonka and Wesley Fongenie 11th and 19th respectively.

“The car had felt brilliant,” said Rishover. “I was too slow in a straightline, they drove away me and I had an oil leak, “ Zielonka added. “It was OK, close to what I expected,” Fongenie concluded.

All three 360 drivers managed to avoid a first corner incident in the first race, and so the race didn’t really get underway until lap three, when the safety car pitted.

Rishover had been third before the safety car, “I had an amazing start, but then just lost grip at the restart and a couple of places,” he explained.

Zielonka was holding on in ninth, with Fongenie 18th, but the race was red flagged after nine laps. Rishover was classified fourth which also gave him second place in the Fangio Class, while Zielonka managed to retain ninth on countback, after losing out to Tyler on the red flagged lap.

“It was still too slow, the same problem. Peter was really fast and caught me, so I had to defend hard for most of my race,” Zielonka added.

Fongenie was delighted with his 14th place too, after a great duel with Jack Yang. “It was fantastic chasing him and getting so close, but I had a gear selection problem exiting the Vale on every lap, I couldn’t get second,” he explained.

Holding sixth from the start of the second race, Rishover was in the train contesting third, but after a safety care intervention and incident packed restart, he was down to seventh and under threat from Preen and Macleod. “I just got held up in the chase,” he explained.
