Weybridge Racing Driver Freddy Nordstrom Takes 2nd Place At Snetterton For His Debut SEAT Podium.
Monday, 14 July 2008
Freddy Nordstrom (Weybridge) put in a superb
performance to take 2nd place, and his first podium finish of the
season, in the first race of the SEAT Cupra Championship’s triple header at
Snetterton at the weekend. The weekend was boasting an extra race than the
usual two round format due to a round being cancelled at the last meeting due
to weather conditions
Driving the PlumberTraining.com backed SEAT Leon, he
started 5th on the grid for the first race of the day. 19 year old
Freddy, the youngest driver in the Championship, drove a flawless and
determined race to take the second step of the podium behind local winner, Carl
Breeze.
“It was great to be on the SEAT podium for the first
time” said a delighted Freddy afterwards. “The car ran very well and I really
enjoyed the race. Carl was just 0.4secs in front of me but I am more than
satisfied with the 2nd place.”
The second race of the afternoon saw Freddy take 6th
place, and more valuable Championship points. But, it was to be disappointment
in the third race which was shown live on ITV4. Locked in a superb battle with
3 other cars, Daniel Rowbottom’s car lost control, cut across the grass and
back onto the track collecting Freddy on its way. The front of Freddy car was
damaged and he sadly had to return to the pits and retire.
“That was a disappointing end to a great day” said Freddy
“but I don’t believe it was malicious on Dan’s part. We can leave knowing we
are capable of podiums which makes me all the more excited for the next race.”
His points haul from Snetterton sees Freddy rise to 8th
in the Championship standings.
