Yuasa’s Hobday on podium after debut circuit racing season

Hobday, who is backed by the battery manufacturer, scored an incredible race win along with six podium finishes to take the spot leaving other more experienced drivers in his wake throughout the season.

The 28-year-old rookie from Yarnbrook, Wiltshire made the transition to single seater, wheel-to-wheel circuit racing in March having dominated sprint racing in recent years.

The transition to the notoriously competitive 14 round Jedi Championship did not phase Hobday, despite the closely fought series being well known as a proving ground for many top motorsport stars over the years.

Visiting the top UK motorsport circuits including Brands Hatch and Donnington Park, Bradley contested the championship driving his 1000cc Jedi car carrying Yuasa’s iconic red, white and black motorsport livery.

Going into the final round at Silverstone in fourth place there was a chance Bradley could take the championship win.

A third place in race one set up a dramatic finale in which Bradley’s front suspension was seriously damaged.

Despite this, he battled on to take fifth position and secure a well-deserved third in the championship standings.

After the race, Bradley said: “It’s been a tough season learning all the circuits, car setup and race craft as well as dealing with engine blow ups whilst trying to compete with experienced racers.

“But after all that I secured a fantastic third place in the championship.

“I am absolutely over the moon to finish third in my very first season of circuit racing.”

James Douglas, marketing executive at Yuasa Battery Sales (UK) Ltd, said: “Bradley’s exceptional performances make him an exciting driver to watch and have ensured that he is always right up at the front of the field amongst the action.

“He’s got lots of attention everywhere he’s raced both from the media and the fans.

“We are proud that he has carried our branding and he’s enjoyed strong positive media coverage throughout the year.”
