Guilherme Silva took a brace of third places in KF3 after delivering another hugely positive performance in his first season of British and European competition. The talented Brazilian teenager had never seen Whilton before the weekend commenced but quickly got to grips with the Northamptonshire circuit’s twists, turns and notorious bumps.

In Timed Qualifying he was third overall in a large field and took third and fourth-placed finished in his two heats.

In each of the two finals, he showed his ability to take the chequered flag in third place and put himself eighth overall in the championship table. Just 18 points off the lead and despite dropping one round (when he didn’t compete).

Paul commented, “Guilherme is a super little driver. He’s able to go to circuits he’s never visited before and almost instantly be on the pace. He’s also adapted to the English style of racing very well and he’s now regularly beating far more experienced drivers. That’s a mark of his class.”
