EYNSHAM driver Dave Messenger recorded two podium finishes in a double-header meeting at Silverstone.

After qualifying second in his class on Saturday’s wet track, Messenger went on to finish third in race one – behind 2014 series champion James Bishop and 17-year-old prospect Tom Hill.

On Sunday, he finished runner-up in the second race, again behind Bishop.
