Hollie Bonner Takes 1st in Bayford 50 and Delivers Strong Showing at BMKR Round 4

It was a weekend of progress, perseverance, and podiums for Hollie Bonner at BMKR Round 4, held at Bayford Meadows. With high temperatures and a highly competitive grid, Hollie made the most of every session and delivered a standout performance across both days.

Saturday – PBs and a Bayford 50 Win
Testing went to plan, with Hollie improving her personal best and finding a setup that worked well in the heat. Confidence was high going into the Bayford 50 endurance race, where she teamed up with David – and the pair drove a smart, consistent race to take the win, finishing an impressive eight seconds ahead of the field.

Sunday – Consistency and Composure
Sunday brought qualifying and three tough races. Despite going out in clean air, Hollie found herself starting 15th in a tightly packed grid – with just half a second separating P2 to P15.

• Qualifying – P15/16
  Fastest qualifying time to date, showing real progress even if the times didn’t reflect the potential.

• Heat 1 – P12/16
  Navigated the midfield battles and kept it clean, gaining valuable positions.

• Pre-Final – P12/16
  Held position with a composed drive, continuing to show consistency.

• Final – P12/16
  A solid start and another steady run to the flag capped off a weekend of measured progress and racecraft development.
