Jordan was pleased by getting a late chance to compete in round 3 of the Champion of brands/Burt Ray memorial trophy this weekend.

In a highly competitive field including MSA British Formula Ford championship front runners took to the fantastic Brands Hatch GP circuit for 20 minutes of qualifying, and having not being able to test on the GP circuit prior to qualifying it was going to sort the men from the boys. It was difficult conditions for the drivers knowing that the best times were going to be set reasonably early before the heat stole the best of the tyres.

But when the smoke cleared it was Skinner who was on top by 0.357 seconds ahead of Cormac O’neal and Nicholas McBride.

At 5:40pm the Field lined up on the grid ready for the red light to extinguish allowing them to rocket into turn one,  Skinner had a flying start with what looked like a 4 car lead going in to turn one. Skinner was under pressure for most race trying to fend off the straight line speed of the Australian built Spectrum chassis, but fast consistent times and no mistakes let him edge away from the field to take the win 1.5 ahead of 2nd place for the Burt Ray memorial trophy and champion of brands.

” It was a good race, I knew that the spectrum was going to be hard to keep behind me on the straights so the plan going into the race was to work hard to get a gap and break the tow. I’m over the moon about the win especially because it was in a 20 year old car up against more current cars and it just shows that I am able to do the business when given the opportunity.” Skinner quoted after the race.

This was a very positive weekend for Skinner by impressing on lookers and showing his raw talent and dedication towards his motor sport career . Hope fully we will see him driving again soon, where and when is unclear but be sure he will be fast and in winning form.
