Skip Barber National Drivers Compete at Formula Ford Festival

Lakeville, October 19, 2010: Last month at the 13th Annual running of Petit Le Mans Road Atlanta, Skip Barber National Drivers Spencer Pigot, 17, and Felix Serralles, 18, were selected as winners in the Team USA Shootout Scholarship, both earning rides to compete in the Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch last weekend. Each driver each had their own setbacks of the weekend, but both drivers were satisfied with their results with Pigot finishing in fourth and Serralles winning his Last Chance Qualifier.

In the Semi Final, Serralles impressively climbed from 23rd to 10th in two laps, a victim of mechanical problems, he ultimately finished fourteenth. For the Final, Serralles started 25th and unfortunately had contact on the first lap. The weekend was a great learning experience for both drivers and grateful for the opportunity, Serralles was still satisfied. “It was just unfortunate," said Serralles, "but at least I got to the Final. That’s what I was looking for, and it was cool to win the race, too…Overall, it’s been a great week."
