Hitech's Deagen Fairclough claimed his first two GB3 pole positions in qualifying at Silverstone, as the Brit joined the fight for this year's Jack Cavill Pole Position Cup.
The Brit put a difficult start to the season behind him with an imperious performance at the British Grand Prix venue. He took race one pole by almost two tenths of a second after dominating the opening session on Saturday morning.
He had to fight hard for Q2 pole, leaving it to the very final seconds of the session to usurp long time provisional pole-sitter Rowan Campbell-Pilling by 0.141s.
Fairclough converted both poles into victory, his second and third triumphs of the year.
He received a total of £600 in prize money for his pole double, as well as a pair of trophies, presented by award founder John Cavill. The driver with the most pole positions at the end of the season will claim the Jack Cavill Pole Position Cup and a £2,000 prize. The team of the driver with the most poles will also earn £2,000.
VRD Racing's Nikita Bedrin still heads the charge for this year's award, three poles clear of the pack, with Rodin's Martin Molnar and Fairclough the lead pursuers.
John is the son of Jack Cavill, who played a prominent role in supporting underfunded drivers from the 1960s onwards. John has followed in his footsteps since, and has been a partner of the GB3 Championship with the Jack Cavill Pole Position Cup since the series' formation as BRDC F4 in 2013.
Previous winners of the Jack Cavill Pole Position Cup include F1 title contender George Russell, IndyCar podium finisher Linus Lundqvist and current Williams F1 reserve Luke Browning. F1 world champion Lando Norris and Haas F1 star Ollie Bearman are others to have received prizes as part of the award.
