Late penalty turns Silverstone second into tenth

A 30-second sanction for a safety-car infringement undoes a strong Radical Cup UK result at the Grand Prix circuit.

Silverstone should have been a breakthrough weekend. After long setup sessions and a huge workload from the student crew, the #11 Radical SR3 XXR crossed the line in a net second place in Radical Cup UK.

A 30-second penalty for a late safety-car infringement then dropped the car to tenth. It was the kind of lesson professional teams learn the hard way too — that the rulebook is part of the performance envelope.

The team headed to Donington for the finale determined to bank the points they felt they had earned at Silverstone.
