There were impressive performances with a maiden win in the PartyPokerRacing.it Euroseries 3000 from Will Bratt while Stuart Hall and Andy Meyrick had weekends to remember in the Le Mans Series at Nürburgring.

Will Bratt put in a fantastic performance in the PartyPokerRacing.it Euroseries 3000 to take his maiden victory in style at Zolder, Belgium on Saturday (22 August 2009).

The 21-year-old BRDC Rising Star led the race from start to finish and finished just under eight seconds clear of the second placed driver, Fabio Onidi, on his first visit to the circuit. And to cap off a great day, Will also took the fastest lap of the race with a 1:20.309 lap.
 
After the race, Will said: “It’s such a good feeling to achieve our first win, it’s fantastic for me, for everyone at the team and hopefully marks a major turning point in the season for us.

 “To finally get the win under our belts is a major boost and it’s no more than the team has deserved as they’ve done an incredible job all year. We’re really pleased with such a strong finish to the weekend.”
