The Michelin Clio Cup Series got underway for the 2015 season at Rockingham and Brett and Tyler Lidsey had weekends to remember.
The brothers who are racing with each other for the first time on the track both celebrated podium success, with Brett in the Race Series and Tyler in the Road Series. Representing an excellent start to the season for both of the 20TenRacing drivers, plus an excellent debut in the series for Tyler.
Brett went on to secure a brace of podiums with top three finishes in rounds one and two of the Race Series and he added a seventh place result in race three. He ended the event fourth in the driver standings, just three points outside the coveted top three. Notably, Brett also secured his first career pole position in Clio’s during the wet qualifying session for race two.
Younger brother Tyler, who is a complete motor racing novice, joined the sister Michelin Clio Cup Road Series grid for the first time and claimed the Sport Class trophy for inexperienced racers in all three contests. Both Brett and Tyler’s are part of 20TenRacing where they are joined by Kent Sports News backed Tom Barley.
There is now a lengthy break of roughly two months in the Michelin Clio Cup Race Series and Road Series calendar until rounds four and five take place at Thruxton in Hampshire on 13th/14th June.
