From Stevenage to Sevenoaks in the UK, English drivers had a good weekend in international single-seat racing. Representing Stevenage, driving superstar Lewis Hamilton gave viewers a credible sample of ultra competitive driving at the Shanghai GP, winning the race and leaving commentators breathless.
However, in North America's premier open-wheel championship, at the Izod Indycar Series' third competitive outing in 2011, a lesser-known English driver hailing from the Sevenoaks, Kent, stunned many in attendance by pulling out a shock win at the 37th Toyota Grand Prix in Long Beach.
The Brits have a history at "Monaco of the West"
Mike Conway (27) had just one Series 3rd place podium to his credit dating back to 2009 before Sunday. Furthermore, going into this race he'd finished in 23rd and 22nd at St. Petersburg (Florida) and Birmingham (Alabama) respectively. Yet despite the harsh nature of the street circuit in Long Beach, he won his first race at the Californian street circuit known historically as the 'Monaco of the West'; a creation of another Brit, Chris Pook.
