The BRISTOL STREET MOTORS with EXCELR8 driver headed into the weekend (26/27 August) with the momentum following a strong performance at his home circuit of Knockhill (12/13 August), where he brought his Hyundai i30N inside the top ten in all three races and scored a personal best result of fourth. The first proper dry running of the day came in qualifying, where Pearson put his car ninth on the grid for the opening race – which marked the best result of his rookie season to date. Having still been able to secure a points finish, Pearson then replicated his result in the second race of the weekend, with the added bonus of being the first Jack Sears Trophy driver home to boost his championship bid. We’d struggled a little with the balance of the car but when it was then dry in race two, we bolted the qualifying set-up back on with a few little tweaks and the car felt fantastic again. To go through all that and still bring the car home in the top 15 was fantastic, and really showed what I can do.
