Will aiming to extend BRDC F4 championship lead at Snetterton

Will Palmer currently leads the Duo BRDC Formula 4 Championship standings by 69 points after 15 races and the 18-year-old is hoping to extend his advantage as the series heads to Snetterton this weekend (22/23 August), its second visit of the year to the Norfolk track.

Will opened up the gap to second-placed man Rodrigo Fonseca last time out at Brands Hatch, with a pair of victories and a fourth place finish as he dominated the weekend on the legendary Grand Prix circuit. With nine races left in the season, the Southwater racer has a healthy lead in the points standings over Mexican Fonseca and Tom Jackson, who is a further 13 points behind Fonseca in third.

With rounds 16, 17 and 18 of the season taking place on the demandingly fast 2.97-mile Snetterton 300 circuit, Will can afford to be confident having already won once this year on the same track. In a sodden third race of the weekend at Snetterton in July, he kept a cool head to take the chequered flag, adding to his runner-up position in race one.

The HHC Motorsport driver now has six victories this season, in addition to two other podium finishes, the first coming on Easter weekend at Oulton Park. A challenging trio of races followed at Rockingham but Will bounced back magnificently at Silverstone to claim two wins on the current Grand Prix layout. His success at Snetterton preceded another double win at Brands Hatch and the BRDC Rising Star is aiming to add to his tally starting this weekend.
 
Will Palmer said: "After a really good weekend at Brands Hatch, I'm really looking forward to getting back on track at Snetterton, and hopefully we will be able to keep our good run of form going and further extend my championship lead."

The 20-minute qualifying session gets underway at 10:40am on Saturday with lights out to start race one at 14:15pm. The reverse grid race two is at 10:35am on Sunday morning with the final race of the weekend starting at 15:05pm.

The final race of the weekend at Snetterton will be broadcast exclusively live on Motors TV in the UK and across Europe from 15:00pm. The regular one-hour long highlights programme will be screened on ITV4 and BT Sport a week after the race meeting and live timing along with text updates will be available throughout the weekend on the official Formula 4 website here.
