"It's all about improving performance through general fitness and we follow a weekly fitness programme," said Hopkins. "It’s a fantastic experience and knowing that you are fitter certainly helps in the car. It gives more mental focus."
 
Although based in Lancashire, Bradshaw has been able to keep in contact with the Human Performance Centre by an e-log.

"It has definitely been good for me and over the summer break from racing I'm going to try and step it up a bit more," said Bradshaw. "It's been brilliant to have this resource available."

Along with the rest of the Carrera Cup GB grid, Hopkins and Bradshaw will be back in action when the season resumes at Snetterton over the weekend of 1/2 August.
