Team Brady Keeps Title Fight Alive with Strong Second Place Finish in Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik, Croatia, Saturday 13 June: Team Brady delivered another impressive performance in Round 3 of the UIM E1 World Championship, securing second place in Dubrovnik and strengthening their position as title contenders. The result sees the team remain second in the championship standings, just behind leaders Angola Westbrook Racing.
Pilots Sam Coleman and Emma Kimiläinen laid the foundations for a strong weekend with an excellent qualifying performance, securing P2 and earning two valuable championship points ahead of race day.
The momentum continued on Saturday as both drivers dominated their respective group races. Sam and Emma took victory in their opening races, sending Team Brady directly into the finals.
In the decisive final races, Emma once again delivered a flawless performance to secure victory in her heat, while Sam crossed the line in second place. Their combined results earned Team Brady an overall second-place finish after a fiercely contested battle with championship leaders Westbrook Racing.
Attention now turns to Monaco, where the fourth round of the UIM E1 World Championship takes place on 17–18 July.
Sam Coleman, Team Brady Pilot, said: "It was all about survival in that final race. The conditions were some of the toughest we've raced in, so bringing the RaceBird home and securing valuable championship points was the priority. Of course, there's some frustration because we've shown great pace all weekend and always want to be fighting for the win, but another podium is a strong result. We'll analyse where we could have closed the gap to Westbrook and come back even stronger in Monaco."
Emma Kimiläinen, Team Brady Pilot, added: "I'm really happy with the result. It was one of the toughest races we've faced all season, with incredibly challenging conditions, so to come away with second place and strong championship points is a great outcome. Full credit to Sam and the team, the pace was there all weekend, the strategy calls were spot on, and we're keeping ourselves firmly in the title fight as we continue to push for that first win of the season."
