Imogen claims maiden podim in breakthrough Australias F4 weekend

Imogen achieved a career-first podium in Formula 4 competitions with a breakthrough weekend at Sydney Motorsport Park, where the AGI Sport driver collected two fourth place finishes - a personal best in only her second ever weekend in Australian F4 - before climbing the podium with a P3 in race 3.

Radburn significantly improved her qualifying speed, clocking a 1:31.8398 in Q1 which placed her #29 Tatuus fifth on the starting grid. In Q2, the young racer did even better and, having found eight tenths of a second, slotted into fourth place with a 1:31.0941 lap.

In race 1, Radburn continued to impress, with a new personal best: from fifth on the grid, she overtook Seth Gilmore on the first lap and grabbed fourth - as well as in the lead of the rookie class - and held position until the chequered flag, opening a 10 second gap to the closest pursuer despite a mid-race safety car neutralization.

While she didn't quite have the pace to catch Amadio ahead, Radburn's fourth place in race 1 was a significant step forward and her second consecutive top five finish in F4.

“A solid weekend here at Shell V-Power Motorsport Park for the last round of the Australian Formula Ford Series,” said Radburn.

“We didn’t start practice how we wanted with a gearbox problem, but we managed to go from 19th to 11th in the last race. I was very happy with my result in the final race, despite the mixed conditions.

“A massive thank you to the team and my sponsors for letting me be here racing. It wouldn’t be possible without you guys, so we look forward to next year.”
