TWO out of three wasn't a bad start to the season for Formula Palmer Audi hopeful Tom Bradshaw.
After claiming pole position for the first of three races at Donington Park, the highly-rated 18-year-old from Blackburn picked up two second places.
Bradshaw pressurised race winner Jason Moore all the way to the chequered flag in the opening 14-lapper at Donington Park.

He said: "I gave it my best shot. I knew I had the pace to challenge Jason so I had a go into the Melbourne Loop but it didn't work out."
He repeated the result in race two, finishing 1.62 seconds behind Richard Plant.
However, there was no hat-trick in race three, Bradshaw failing to finish after being squeezed out and into the gravel during a three-way fight on the opening lap.
The result leaves Bradshaw handily placed in fifth, just 26 points behind early leader Jason Moore. Next race is at Brands Hatch on May 2-4, supporting the A1GP World Cup.
l Former Formula Ford Champion Bradshaw enjoyed a return to grassroots motorsport when he piloted Van Diemen's 08 car to a thrilling victory at Oulton Park.
In arguably the race of the day, Bradshaw swapped the lead lap-by-lap with Gavin Wills in the second round of the North West FF Championship.
