Brundle (17), son of ex-Formula 1 ace Martin, finished second in the second 16-lap race having crashed out of the opening race at the 2.3-mile Grand Prix circuit in Kent.

Alex, who is sponsored by Nasstar, Space Universal News Network, Cars International and Daytona Karting, now has 74-points – 16 behind championship leader Jason Moore (Bedford) – after five rounds.

Brundle diced for third place in race one but on lap 11 ran wide, recovered but then collided with another car a few corners later which ended his race in the gravel trap.

Alex, who had claimed his first-ever FPA pole for round five, commented: "I still want that win but I am really happy with the points haul."

Alex finished 11th in the 2007 Formula Palmer Audi Championship and eighth in the FPA Autumn Trophy.

The next three races in the 20-race, eight venue series are staged at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium (May 16-18).
