Holmes Stuns At Snetterton With A Double F4 Victory | 21.09.09 | 16.03 Ilkley's Chris Holmes ended the 2009 Formula 4 Championship with a pair of wins at the final event of the season which was held at Snetterton on 20 September. Chris finished the season with a crushing set of wins. Taking pole position for the first race, Chris took a comfortable win for the perfect start to the weekend. To add some spice to the second race of the day, the grid for race two saw the top 8 finsihes from race one take the grid in reverse order. So, starting from 8th on the grid, Chris had to fight his way past his competitors before drawing out a lead and taking the chequered flag again. In taking the win, Chris broke the Snetterton F4 lap record, a feat he has achieved at several British tracks this year. This latest brace of wins sees Chris finish the year with an enviable record of 8 wins from the 11 rounds he has contested. Chris was a late comer to the season but, despite not racing in the opening events, his amazing record sees him finish the year as Vice-Champion. "I am really happy with the way the weekend went" said Chris. "It was pretty perfect I suppose! Throughout the year I have shown my speed and potential by taking 8 wins from 11 starts with plenty of lap records and pole positions, so it's been a solid year, and a lot of fun! "I would like to thank all my sponsors - Hanline Associates, Nuffield Health and Fitness, Skins Products and Cushdy Creative, for all their support throughout 2009" "I am currently looking at some interesting options for a 2010 drive, and the pace I have shown certainly helps. I am waiting on a couple of decisions in the next month or so, and if they go my way, it will lead to a very exciting 2010 season!" << back to news
