The In2Racing team's second race weekend in the Ginetta Challenge saw an improved showing throughout the weekend from the team and driver David Barker in the Ginetta G40.

Qualifying saw the In2Racing car line up an impressive P15 and in Race 1, despite being down in P21 after a slow getaway into Copse, David Barker drove with an improved pace recording his best lap time of the weekend improving by some 5 seconds to finish in P14 at the flag.

Race 2 saw a good start from P16 on the grid and several places were traded over the 3.8 mile Silverstone GP circuit. A challenge for position at Becketts meant that David was forced into a spin and unfortunately into the gravel. After a delay the Marshals retrieved the car and allowed the G40 to restart the race. It was a disappointing way to end the promising weekend but significant progress had been made with David's on-track pace.
