KMR Sport’s championship leader Tom Mills led the way in the opening GB4 Championship test session of the week on the Silverstone GP circuit.
Mills best time of 2m02.092s put him almost half a second clear of Evans GP’s double Snetterton winner Cooper Webster, who in turn was nearly eight tenths ahead of Fox Motorsport’s Liam McNeilly in third.
Fortec’s Colin Queen was fourth fastest, a couple of tenths quicker than KMR’s Jack Clifford, while series newcomer Erik Evans put VRD Racing inside the top-six in their first GB4 appearance, with Evans 0.069s away from the Australian.
Ruhaan Alva put his Fortec machine seventh, 0.077s away from Evans and 0.033s ahead of teammate Aditya Kulkarni, who brought out the red flags with 10 minutes remaining after an off into the gravel.
Lucas Blakeley, who made his slicks and wings race debut last time out at Snetterton resumed testing today with KMR Sport and was ninth fastest, 0.002s clear of VRD’s second newcomer Zack Ping.
A total of 15 cars were on circuit, with Rowan Campbell-Pilling (Elite) and Dan Hickey (Fortec) testing but not scheduled to race this weekend.
The second session of the day is due to commence at 14.50.
