Team PR: DJM at Power Series, Round 2

DJM Race Engineering went to the second round of the Golden Power Series looking to continue their good start to the series. Taking out a round win and podiums at the opening round of the series, the team was looking to make a statement in the championship. With over fifteen drivers taking to the track for the team it was going to be a busy weekend ahead.

Due to the poor conditions on Sunday racing the meeting was called at only 50% completion so each driver had to make their opening two heats count.

Bodhi Bright lead the charge in the KA3 Senior Light ranks coming home with a strong podium finish in second place. Bright showed strong pace in both races coming home with a second in heat one and fourth in heat two with consistent results resulting in a podium finish.

DJM second KA3 Senior driver Adam Campbell came home with top ten finishes in both races putting him in seventh position overall, one of Adam’s best finishes in the championship over the years.

Natasha Emmins had a challenging weekend finishing eighteenth overall after tough races in both conditions.

Jayden Wallis took home his first podium finish of the championship, in position three. Wallis was in a fierce battle over the weekend with Thomas Hughes, Dylan Collett and Peter Cocca. A strong second place in the opening heat and fourth place in the second heat was enough to put Wallis over for a strong podium position and a great spot in the overall championship.

Zane Bright and Isaac Woodhouse represented the DJM Race Engineering team in the ultra-competitive TAG 125 Light. Both drivers had strong pace in both conditions consistently running in the top ten of the class. Bright after a couple of strong heats finished in position seven overall adding more crucial points to his championship assault. Woodhouse finished just behind his DJM stable mate in position eight continuing more strong points for the championship.
