Joe Collier
Brands Hatch GP
Joe Collier, racing on the Haribo Starmix Triumph, had a stunning end to what has already been a stunning season. Joe sealed the Motorpoint Evo Cup Championship a couple of races ago and finished at the final round at Brands Hatch with a brilliant double Evo race victory.
The weather conditions at Brands over the weekend were much colder and wetter than the team have had all season. Joe played cautious on Friday morning as he did not want to risk doing any damage in the sketchy conditions. He did go out in the second session as he needed some track time but did crash out. Nothing was too badly damaged and he was back out for qualifying on Saturday.
He qualified in 11th place on the grid for the opening race on Saturday. He got a great start and was able to dominate the entire race from start to finish before the red flag came out due to rain on the penultimate lap. Joe moved up to ninth on the grid for the main race on Sunday and he wanted to end his fantastic season on a high note. Again Joe got a good start and once again took full control of the Evo race leading from start to finish and taking his Evo win total to 14.
Joe Collier – “Well it has been a fantastic season this year and I managed to secure the Evo Championship with 14 wins and 21 podiums which is a great feeling. I also ended up 10th in the overall Championship and I can’t thank my sponsors enough for all their help and support this year.
We have run our own little set-up within the Haribo Triumph camp this season but I can’t thank Derek and his team enough for all the help they have gave us all season. A huge thank you to all my personal sponsors who helped make this year happen and most importantly my Dad, who has always supported me in my racing and without him none of this would be possible.
I am actively speaking with teams about next season and hope to be able to get something sorted soon. We’ve had a great year and I am really pleased we were able to lift the Evo Supersport title and hope 2016 is just as good!”
