CHRIS LAW is still waiting for that elusive top-five result. At the weekend at Croft-on-Tees race circuit, the young Sarnian had 13th and 15th finish positions in the Elf Renault Clio Championship.
‘On Saturday I had a terrible start and seemed to get left behind,’ said Law. ‘I battled hard and was overtaking well, but then got blocked constantly. Whatever I did, I couldn’t get by.
‘It didn’t stop me trying. I’ll just have to qualify better next weekend [in rounds 11 and 12] at Silverstone. I was very unfortunate on Sunday, too, as I got tagged on the first corner which started to spin me. Then I got smashed into and the front taken off the Clio.
‘I was able to restart. However, it seemed as though I was driving and pushing as the aero dynamics were shot. I was pleased with my efforts to get back to 15th, though.’
Meanwhile, Law has gained sponsorship from a local legal firm.
‘The Legis Group is delighted to be supporting Chris in this year’s Renault Clio Cup racing series,’ said managing director Stuart Platt-Ransom.
‘Although he is only 17, he has demonstrated a real talent and we are confident he will go on to have a successful racing career in the future.’
Law’s father, William, said: ‘We really appreciate Legis’ help so we have dedicated one quarter of the roof flag to them. We are still hoping to fill the other three from other local businesses.
‘Chris is a true petrol head. He is total dedicated to motorsport and he tries really hard with his racing.
‘We all hope he can get that little bit of lady luck now to see him finishing well into the top 10.’
