Following a positive home round at Brands Hatch last month, Dartford racing driver Alex Nevill is looking to continue the good form into round 4 of the Mini Challenge Cooper Pro championship this weekend at Croft in Yorkshire.
Last month’s Mini Festival saw the 2018 Cooper Am champion take a pair of 5th place finishes on home turf at Brands Hatch, matching his best result of the year, whilst also setting the fastest lap of the weekend. The points earned over the course of the event moved Alex up to 6th place in the championship, just 20 points away from 3rd place in a points structure where 50 points are awarded for a win. They’ve also seen Alex move to the lead of the Rookie Cup, for drivers new to the Cooper Pro class for 2019.
Having never raced at Croft previously, the 25 year old is relishing the challenge of learning a new circuit with the Lawrence Davey Racing team.
“Croft is a new circuit for me, but with the confidence boost of the Brands Hatch weekend under my belt it’s a challenge I find exciting rather than daunting. We’ve shown we have the pace now, and I can’t wait to try to put it to good use over the weekend!”
The weekend will feature two races, on Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th August respectively.
