Alice keeps herself at the top

The Osato Research Institute has been supporting a young racing driver, Alice Powell, with scholarships.
We received a race report from Alice.

Alice takes Immun' Âge daily and before and after races to take control of her own health-care.

Alice took to the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit, for the first time in two years, on July 27th to 28th, where she put her Mark Bailey Racing car 3rd on the grid.  

For the Race 1, the heavens opened and the race was stopped before it had even begun. This was to give the teams and drivers chance to change from slicks to wets. The race was soon underway on a rain soaked track. Alice was on the back of Hamilton Smith at the start, but contact with Smith's rear, resulted in a damaged front wing for Alice. However, Alice managed to keep with the leaders but just could not find a way past, and crossed the line in 3rd place. 

Alice lined up 3rd once again for Race Two. Powell got a good start, but championship rival, Alex Craven, got an even better start and passed Alice into turn one. From then on, it was a procession as the gap between Craven and Alice stayed around 1 second, with Alice losing some pace at the end of the race. She finished the race in 4th place.

Speaking after the weekend, Alice said "It was not the weekend we had hoped for. We had brilliant pace in the wet, but not so much in the dry. In the second race, we were lacking pace down the straights, as my 3rd and 4th gear was slightly too long and the car started to lose rear grip with 4 laps from the end. For next time out, we need to make sure we get these things right. Saying that, I got consistent results and point make prizes!! I am still leading the championship and I just need to make sure I am consistently in the top 5 for the remainder of the races".
