Mixed Weather and Mixed Results for Mickel Motorsport End with a Good Outlook
With a mixture of weather, there was a mixture of results but the overall outcome was an upward trend for John Mickel in his #4 K-Seal Legend as he moves into third place in the UK National Legends Championship but margins are still very tight at the sharp end of the points table.
Paul Simmons hit a top podium finish in his Baileigh #51 car but the wet conditions also threw in some curve balls.
Mike Schlup drove out of his skin in his #3 K-Seal Legend to secure his best results ever in his first race back at Brands Hatch this season!

John Mickel: “It’s been a challenging start to the year for us, we’re still at the sharp end in the championship and haven’t had any DNFs which is important. We’ve just got to keep plugging away and if we come back here [Brands Hatch] in November with a shot at the title, it’ll be job done.”
