Barnstaple driver Jonathan Ridley-Holloway had a weekend to remember after being part of a winning team at the Britcar 24 Hour race.

The 24-year-old sandwiched two long night shifts behind the wheel of the TJH Motorsport Honda Civic with the Clio Cup race at Brands Hatch.

He equalled his best ever finish of seventh in his Total Control Racing Clio to cap a memorable weekend.

It means he finishes his maiden season in 15th in the Clio Cup standings.

If I'm back in Clios in 2009, I'm confident we can go well

"It's been a mega weekend, I'm buzzing after having such a good run in the Clio," he said.

"It's my best weekend ever, a really special set of results and a cracking way to end the season," he added.

Ridley-Holloway, along with team-mates Paul Collis and Simon Mason, guided their Honda Civic to first place in class four and sixth place overall.

"The 24 Hour race was great, we really could have won it overall which would have been amazing but we had one or two problems which cost us a lot of time.

"To finish sixth though and first in class is a fantastic result ," he said.

And he added he feels his immediate future in motorsport lies in the Clio Cup.

"I definitely want to be back racing in Clios next year but we have to attract some more sponsors to make that happen," he said.

"If I'm back in Clios in 2009, I'm confident we can go well."
