2006 Formula Ford Champion, Nathan Freke, has accepted an invitation to
compete in the Dutch Supercar Challenge at Silverstone on the 7th and
8th of September as part of the Britcar 24 hour meeting. Nathan will
be racing a TVR Sagaris, an upgraded version of the Tuscan racecar he drove in
2004. The drive gives Nathan a rare opportunity to showcase his talents in what
has been a frustrating year for the Kidderminster racer.
The call came from a
team that watched Nathan in the Porsche Challenge drive earlier in the year,
Tim Hood team principal, said ‘We had a spare seat in one of our cars and we
had no hesitation in asking Nathan to drive for us, he was outstanding in an uncompetitive
car in the 2004 Tuscan Challenge and he will do well in this car which is a
proven race winner.’ Nathan will be cutting short his holiday to race, ‘When
the call came I had already booked a short break abroad, and I had no doubt
that to cut the holiday short was the right thing to do, opportunities have
been thin on the ground this year after the collapse of the deal to race in the
USA. I need to be racing and I am very grateful to Tim, and Steve Glynn whose
car I am co driving. It will be a big ask though as I have not driven the car
before, I have not driven the Silverstone GP circuit either and the first time
I will get to drive is in qualifying, but I am really looking forward to it.
