THM Racing’s Robert Barrable delivered an excellent drive at the Milltek Sport Volkswagen Racing Cup on Sunday, finishing seventh to banish any lingering memories of disappointment at Silverstone last time out.

Barrable, racing for Watford-based THMR, was racing at Brands Hatch for the first time and had endured disappointment in round two of the competition at the iconic Silverstone circuit.

The team’s focus ahead of round 12 had been on getting his Golf Gti fine-tuned to avoid a repeat of the drive shaft and hub problems he earlier experienced.

And after qualifying in ninth on Sunday morning, Barrable progressed through the field to clinch seventh place, putting those problems to bed once and for all.
