Alice Powell had to settle for a brace of second places at Snetterton.

The Chipping Norton-based driver finished runner-up to Henry Chart, of Enigma Motorsport, in both races.

Powell came second in last year’s F3 Cup series, but was competing in just her second race weekend in the championship this season.

And despite targeting victory at Snetterton she was unable to keep up with Chart, finishing Saturday’s race five seconds behind in a time of 21mins 45secs.

She was unable to improve on her time or position on Sunday, again finishing second with a time of 21.45 as Chart extended the gap to over the six-second mark.

Powell travels to Shanghai this weekend for the Asian Formula Renault series.
