SIBLINGS Blake and Brea Angliss secured silverware in their first-ever race competing as teammates in the Silverlake C1 Racing Series.
The Coventry drivers secured a class podium finish at Donington Park in Silverlake Motorsport’s Citroen C1 alongside teammate Briannie Davis.
Brea impressed for Silverlake on her endurance racing debut in the BRSCC Silverstone 24 Hours back in May.
Blake found himself behind the wheel of the 68bhp C1 for the first time – a vastly different car to the McLaren Artura GT4 he drives in the British GT Championship.
And Blake set the quickest lap of the trio in qualifying to secure 12th place overall and fifth in the AM class in a huge 49-car grid.
The crew made a fast start in the three-hour endurance race to move into early AM podium contention.
Consistent lap times and smart racecraft saw the crew cross the line in eighth-place overall and third in the AM class.
Blake said: “I’m glad I’ve finally found a race car that I can see over the steering wheel in without any extra seat padding.
“The C1 is a different beast to my usual McLaren, but it was really fun to push to its limit.
“I really enjoyed sharing a car with Brea.
“I think we both proved that we can make for a pretty good pairing and hopefully we can step into other cars and championships together in the future.”
Brea said: “It was great to be back with Silverlake Motorsport to race their Citroen C1 again.
“I have fantastic time with them for the 24-hour race, so jumped at the opportunity to get behind the wheel again at Donington Park.
“We’ve been talking about racing together for years, so it was fun to get the chance to share a car with Blake for the first time.
“We were on our best behaviour, worked together well and came home with a good result.”
Blake continues his 2026 British GT Championship season next month (on the weekend of August 15 and 16) with a pair of one-hour sprint races at Snetterton in Norfolk.
