Kapadia Looking To Build On Promising Silverstone Weekend
Alex Kapadia hopes his starring performance with Murphy Prototypes in the 4 hours of Silverstone will help him secure a seat for the second round of the European Le Mans Series at Imola. Brought into the fold on a one-off basis with Tor Graves suffering from shingles, silver-rated Kapadia was awarded the Radio Le Mans ‘Spirit of the Race’ Award for his relentless pace in the race’s middle stint, which culminated in the race’s third fastest
lap just a few tenths shy of platinum-rated
team-mate Karun Chandhok. Sadly however, this amounted to little, with the Murphy team already six laps down thanks to a jump-start penalty and a puncture which destroyed the left-front bodywork, contriving to ruin what had been a race which promised much. Eighth place was scant reward for their efforts and left the 33 year-old to rue what might have been.
