Ian Pearson has also been named the UK's first Motorsport Champion
of 2005 following yet another dominant two races at Brands Hatch last
weekend.
Pearson
has won all nine rounds of the Club Class championship so far, and
has only dropped one point for pole position all season leaving
it impossible for the others to catch him.
After
an outstanding win on Saturday Pearson led the race from start to
finish, making history as the first Club Class driver in his Tatuus
RC 97 to win a race outright after starting third on the grid behind
two of the eight cars competing in the FR2000 class. Pearson further
proved his skill around the wet circuit by also setting the outright
fastest lap for the race.
Another
Club Class win and fourth overall on Sunday sealed the championship
for him.

To
make the achievement even more incredible, Pearson probably runs
on the lowest budget on the grid, spending under £5,000 a
season.
However,
being on such a low budget, Pearson is limited as to how he progresses
his racing career from here. "I’m really grateful to everyone
who has helped this year without their help this season would have
been even harder."
Ian
is now looking to compete in the faster FR2000 class for the remainder
of the season and in the Formula Renault UK Winter Series.
The
next round is at Snetterton on the 20th and 21st of August, Ian
will carry on racing for the remainder of the season in his Club
Class car, but hopefully he will get a chance to prove himself in
an FR2000 car if his budget can be met.
