Alderley's Porsche Carrera Cup racer George Richardson took third in Pro-Am 1 class in the latest round of the Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain 2011 championship.

A pair of solid qualifying performances gave him two fifth in class starting slots.

Race one, on Saturday, in scorching conditions saw George come home in fifth.

It was race two, on Sunday, that was to see a great drive from the Alderley Edge-based business student.

On a day of mixed conditions, the Porsches were to see it in its trickiest conditions.

However, a fastest lap of 1.34.521secs carried Richardson to a podium spot.
