George Proudford-Nalder wrote his name into the history books at Silverstone this past weekend (May 30-31) as he claimed a sensational victory in the Wera Tools F4 British Championship, certified by FIA to lift the coveted BRDC International Trophy.

Taking centre stage at the Home of British Motor Racing for the fourth event of the season, the UK’s premier single-seater series delivered three spectacular contests that culminated in Lewis Wherrell, Joseph Smith and Proudford-Nalder leaving with a share of the spoils.

Virtuosi Racing’s Proudfold-Nalder made the perfect start to the weekend as he topped the times in a fast and furious qualifying session, with his two fastest times being good enough for pole position in races one and three.

Unfortunately the Australian would make a sluggish start as the lights went out for race one, which allowed JHR Developments’ Wherrell to surge into a lead that he ultimately never lost.

After reigning supreme at Snetterton just a few days prior, Wherrell picked up where he left off in the weekend’s opening contest as he produced a dominant display to tally his third win in seven days.

Behind him, Mercedes F1 Junior Ethan Jeff-Hall and McLaren supported teenager Dries Van Langendonck had finished second and third, however post-race penalties relegated them down the order and promoted Adam Al Azhari and Jarrett Clark onto the podium.

Having endured his fair share of bad luck in recent rounds, Virtuosi Racing’s Smith made a welcome return to the winners circle as he tallied his second victory of the season in the reverse grid bout.

Starting from fourth on the grid, Smith scythed his way to the front by the end of the first lap and then didn’t look back as he charged to the chequered flag ahead of Ethan Carney and Chiara Bättig – both of whom clinched their first podium finishes of the year.

Proudfold-Nalder then came to the fore in a captivating final race of the weekend as he became the eighth different winner of the season; although he was made to work for it after being pushed all the way by Wherrell.

Starting from pole position, the Virtuosi Racing teenager produced the drive of his life as he fended off a torrent of pressure from championship leader Wherrell to triumph in the UK’s premier single-seater series’ blue riband event of the season.

As the first winner of the BRDC International Trophy in more than two decades, Proudford-Nalder’s name will now forever sit alongside Formula 1 legends such as Sir Jackie Stewart, Jim Clark, James Hunt, Niki Lauda and many more on the famous trophy.

Behind the top two, Hitech’s Theo Palmer claimed the final spot on the podium in third while Jeff-Hall held off a charging Van Lagendonck to clinch fourth.

Wherrell now holds a nine-point lead at the top of the Drivers’ Championship ahead of Van Langendonck.
