ADDERBURY teenager Will Bratt remains in reach of a potential top six finish in the 2006 Formula Renault UK Championship after two seventh place finishes at Donington Park on Sunday.
The 18-year-old produced two action-packed drives in the 15th and 16th rounds of the 20-race championship.
In the first of the day's races he climbed from 13th on the grid, and in the second heat he started in 14th position and again fought his way through the field Bratt's combined 32-point total saw him finish third in the prestigious Donington Park Racing Association Club Cup - a trophy awarded to the British driver scoring the most points over the course of the four Formula Renault races contested at the circuit this year.
Will said: "We were so much quicker in the first race than in qualifying. We were half a second off the fastest lap in the race while on Saturday we were 1.5 seconds away from pole position.
"We took the decision to use a softer setting on the car and it worked really well.
"It is a bit frustrating. If we'd shown the same pace in qualifying we would have been on the second row of the grid and maybe we could have challenged for a podium.
The next round of the series is at Brands Hatch on September 23 and 24.
