Dawn raced the ABR Peugeot 106 at Castle Combe over the May bank holiday.  Dawn raced well and battled with higher powered cars.  

No modifications to the 106 meant she was left behind a bit on straight line power but she brought the car home safely after a great race.  

"Dawn has a good outlook to her racing and certainly applies herself well to her driving, Battling with higher powered cars speaks for itself " - Alan Blencowe.
