Culham, Oxfordshire (9/22/2010) - The last two rounds of the
2010 GOLDSPEED British Quad Championship were
held last weekend at Culham Park, Oxfordshire.
The fast flowing hard-pack circuit, situated next
to the river Thames, hosted rounds 6 and 7 of
the Championship.
Paul Holmes, carrying plenty of momentum after
his spectacular win at the final round of the
European Championship in Germany was ready to
take as many points as possible for the title
chase.
Holmes commented after the weekends racing:
“I will admit that this weekend hasn’t
gone quite to plan but taking 5 podium finishes
from 6, I have to be pleased with that. It was
impossible for me to ride as aggressively as
I needed to on Sunday's rough track with my
wrist injury from Saturday. I have had a really
up and down weekend which reflects my up and
down season but I have had excellent results
and want to say another huge thanks to all my
great Sponsors, Team and Family for their support
and the great faith they have in me”.

Finishing 3rd place in the overall 2010 Championship,
Holmes has showed incredible consistency as
this is the 3rd time in the last 3 years he's
finished in the top 3! It must be remembered
that Holmes is only 22 years of age and every
year he has closed the gap on the number 1 position.
In his first year racing independently under
the Holmes Racing banner this young man has
set himself up very nicely for the title chase
in the 2011 season!
