Robbie Kerr helped steer A1 Team Great Britain into the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport history books on the last weekend of the 2006-07 season at the
Brands Hatch, becoming the first driver in two seasons of A1GP competition to take pole and a race win on home soil.
Having won the shorter sprint event at Brands, Kerr was denied a historic double race when he was narrowly beaten to the chequered in the feature by Germany’s Nico Hülkenberg.
Having come agonizingly close to overhauling New Zealand for second place behind Germany in the A1GP standings - the difference a mere point in favour of the Kiwi team following a thrilling season of racing - Great Britain placed third overall to match its accomplishment from the inaugural World Cup of Motorsport.
Sunday’s action at Brands Hatch couldn’t have been scripted better to provide the home fans with something to shout about, Great Britain setting the scene for them with a stunning last lap pole position the day before. Kerr, who provided much of the weekend’s action and excitement, took time out to reflect on what was a memorable weekend, if not
the most memorable weekend in the short history of A1GP.
Q:
How much pressure did you feel under heading into Saturday’s qualifying session at Brands Hatch given the team’s front-running performance on the Friday?
Robbie Kerr:
Well, we were confident before we headed to Brands Hatch that we could be up there and that was backed up after our performance as a team on the Friday with Oliver [Jarvis] going fastest in the rookie only session and my fastest time in the first official practice session. It was a boost for the team as well as for all the fans that came along to support us!
