To recap, the Mazda MX5 Championship, like F1, is a series of races where points are scored.  Kevin is racing in a Mazda for Jim Edwards’ E3 Sport, who Gravytrain proudly sponsor.  The other members of the team are Jade & Chloe Edwards, both of whom have raced in the Ginetta Junior championship with many other racing accolades between them.

Last time at Brands Hatch Kevin finished off 24th the first couple of races and unfortunately crashed out in spectacular style in his third outing.

Drawing a line under that setback, Kevin raced in rounds 4 & 5 at Snetterton on the 23rd & 24th of April. Wanting to be able to look his employees in the eye on Monday morning, he accomplished a very impressive 15th and a respectable 29th.

In the end Jade accomplished a top ten finish in heavy rain, while the rest of team managed a decent outing as well.

Rounds 6 & 8 took place at Oulton Park on the 15th May where Kevin, Jade and Chloe represented E3 Sport proudly. Once upon a time 14 years ago, our boss Kevin podiumed there in a front wheel drive Renault 5TS. This time around though he bagged decent 17th and 28th places.

The highlight of the day for E3 Sport was the Top 12 finish for Jade, beating her Granddad who had qualified in 8th place racing for Rob Boston Racing.

We now head into the next two rounds taking place on the 5th and 6th of June at Cadwell Park. Next time as Kevin sits in his Mazda emblazoned in the Gravytrain logo, he is representing everyone here at the office. We look to him to set us an example on how to achieve. Hopefully he will not let us down.

So, no pressure.  Race, Kev, Race!
