WIX Racing may need a bigger trophy cabinet after finishing all three Thruxton races on the podium, with a win and two third places at the high speed track.
The WIX Racing garage was buzzing on Sunday morning ahead of the first race of the weekend, with Aiden Moffat on the front row of the grid. Morgan was starting the race sixth.

Up ahead of the WIX racer was chaos, as the front runners came together and the tyres came into play. Morgan pushed hard, keeping his cool and keeping out of the madness ahead of him, benefiting from punctures and collisions to finish on the top step of the podium.

The win was just what the garage needed after the disappointment of Moffat’s puncture taking him out of the race.
Morgan started the second race of the weekend on pole.

In another chaotic race, Morgan lost the lead, but managed to keep at the sharp end of the field, finishing the second race at Thruxton on the podium.
We think Adam quite likes Thruxton, we have matched our results from last year! Two podiums in two races!… https://t.co/eeJKLWaq35
