Pippa Mann Secures Fifth in Firestone IndyLights Championship

Pippa Mann has scored her fourth consecutive top five finish, in the season finale of the 2010 Firestone Indy Lights championship - at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The result sees the young Brit secure a credible fifth place in the driver’s championship, cementing an impressive comeback for Mann in what has been a tough year.

Speaking about the race, Mann said: “We had a little too much aero which cost us straight line speed, and that compromised our performance this afternoon. But today was about the bigger picture, and our main goal was to do enough to get fifth in the championship – and we’ve achieved that. In light of some of the issues we’ve had, it’s a fairly amazing comeback story, and definitely a story I’m happy to end 2010 with.”
