UK 2.0: Patrick Hogan Brands Hatch summary

CHALLENGING BRANDS WEEKEND SETS UP FINAL ROUND DECIDER

Formula Renault UK sensation Patrick Hogan is fired-up for a final-round title decider at Silverstone three weeks from now having seen the championship lead slip from his grasp after a challenging weekend at Brands Hatch Indy Circuit.

The AKA Lemac star, who is backed by Lease Plan and Spin 103.8, saw his hopes of a winning-double at the 1.2-mile Indy Circuit dashed on Saturday during two very difficult qualifying sessions.

Remaining calm and composed under intense pressure, Patrick knew the weekend had become more about damage limitation than the lead in the title race so, with that in mind, he drove sensibly today to finish sixth in round 17 and fifth in round 18.

"It could have been a much worse outcome this weekend but what makes everything most frustrating is that we had a really good car in both races", said Patrick, "If we had got the car sorted in qualifying I know we would have won at least one race today."
