Double points finish for Devaney

Ultimate Motorsport driver Michael Devaney managed to score points in both races at the famous Silverstone circuit on Sunday. In the first race Devaney finished in eighth while in the second race he moved up to fourth position.

In the first race Michael's teammate Estaban Guerrieri made a flying start from 14th on the grid to climb to seventh by the end of the opening lap, with Devaney holding station in ninth. After a brief safety car period Guerrieri gained two more places to reach fifth place while Devaney dropped to 10th.

It was all change on lap 11, when Guerrieri came under serious pressure from the cars behind - including Devaney - and dropped to 10th with Devaney making it up to seventh in an exciting multi-car battle. Guerrieri then slowly dropped back, while Devaney dropped behind Niall Breen on the last lap to finish eighth.

In the second race, Devaney slipped from third to fifth after a disappointing start from a dirty part of the grid but he climbed back to fourth at the second corner on lap two. He kept pace with the leaders, setting his fastest lap just two tenths slower than race winner Marko Asmer.

Devaney said: "It has been a good weekend all round. It is disappointing we still have not got that podium, but the pace is here now and we have proved we can qualify well - which makes all the difference. The first race was a good one to get a few more points in the bag but the second one was what it was all about.

"I was starting on the dirty side of the track so when I lined up on the grid and saw the crap on my tyres, I thought b*llocks! Everyone else had clean tyres, so I knew what was going to happen. I had a terrible start and dropped two places, but I made it back up to fourth and held the pace. If we had got the start, it could well have been a podium. Next time."
