The Silverstone National circuit might be far from the longest track on the British Formula 4 calendar, but that tiny gap was the difference between the fastest and slowest driver in qualifying at the venue in September. That's particularly impressive when you consider that one of the drivers was making their debut.

When the entire field is that close and you are up against single-seater powerhouses like Carlin, Double R, Arden and Fortec, you need to be at the top of your game and use all the tools you can to help find those crucial tenths. And that is exactly what the JHR Developments squad has been doing this season.
