SAWBRIDGEWORTH racer Rachel Green claimed a podium finish in the Avon Tyres Caterham Superlight Challenge when she raced at Brands Hatch.

Green took a hard-earned second place in the race - the sixth round of the series - after a long battle with Surrey driver Peter Ratcliff, whom she pressured into a mistake at Paddock Hill Bend at mid-distance.

The result more than made up for Green's disappointment at finishing only sixth in Saturday's Brands Hatch round, in which she found her car not performing well after a recent ground-up rebuild following an accident.

Both the Brands races were won by Kent youngster David Mayes, who assumes the championship lead. Green holds seventh overall in the points standings.
