NATALIE BUTLER will be hoping to improve on her 16th place in the standings when the Club Formula Palmer Audi series enters the final straight on Sunday, October 14.

The Chorleywood racer, who is the only woman competing in the single seater 12-race series, will be on the grid for the final two rounds at Snetterton.

All of the 20 cars competing for honours in the two, 15-lap races around the 1.9-mile Norfolk track, are powered by 1.8-litre turbocharged Audi engines.

The series was instigated by former Grand Prix driver Jonathan Palmer, and former FPA champion Justin Wilson recently tested a Jordan Formula One car.
