\u201cMy stepdad Martin Dugard won a Speedway GP in Coventry in 2000 as a wild card. Maybe I will get some advice from him. I\u2019m sure he will give me some tips after this.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI am going to Cardiff, and it is a dream come true for me. I will do the best I can. I\u2019ll try and get as much experience as possible. To be surrounded by the best guys in the world is an honour already. It\u2019s a huge opportunity and I\u2019m sure these boys will be showing me the way.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI am riding pretty well right now, so that day in Cardiff is definitely something I can aim towards and go and have fun.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n While Brennan earned the coveted Cardiff spot, he was a little disappointed not to carry off his first British Championship as well.<\/p>\n He topped the heat score chart on 13 points to qualify automatically for the final alongside Bewley, who recorded 12. But Brennan admits his inexperience may have cost him in the final as he lined up alongside SGP winners Bewley, Woffinden and Chris Harris, who was fourth in Manchester.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cTo have the Cardiff wild card is a huge thing, but at the same time, I wanted to win that British Final.<\/p>\n \u201cI definitely gave it everything. I got through those heat races pretty well, but a lack of experience in that final situation definitely showed. Big congratulations to the boys on the podium. They definitely showed me the way around in that last race.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the main thing is I should have ridden my own race. I definitely rode very tight after that first lap. That\u2019s just part of the pressure. Once you are in a podium position in those finals, you obviously want to maintain it. I was maintaining rather than chasing. That\u2019s just something to work on.<\/p>\n \u201cBut if you had said I would be sat here in third place before the meeting, I probably would have taken it. For me, to top-score in the heats is a huge thing. I would like to thank everybody \u2013 my family, my supporters and my team. They worked really well.<\/p>\n \u201cI have managed to get a third and a second in the British Championship. Hopefully it is time for the win soon. We have to keep working to do that.<\/p>\n \u201cIn Cardiff, it will just be a matter of getting out of the start and riding my own race, and then we will see where we are at. It will be a very good comparison for me against the best riders in the world.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Bewley joins Barry Briggs, Ivan Mauger, Andy Smith and Woffinden in an elite club of riders with three British title wins on the bounce.<\/p>\n The world No.7 landed his third British Championship with a fearsome charge under Woffinden going into lap three of an epic final, and the Cumbrian star admits he needed it after struggling from the starts all evening.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cI didn\u2019t make any starts all night. For the final, I thought I could do with making a better one, but I heard after picking gate one that no rider had won from there. I thought the final would be a good time to turn that around.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI made a decent start, but Tai got a good run around the first corner. Sometimes you get in the right place and get that bit of drive. I was just able to nip up the inside and it just happened.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not the easiest track to lead on, but it was an awesome crowd. To get three titles in a row after Tai and a couple of others have done it is great.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n BRITISH FINAL HEAT SCORES:<\/strong> 1 Tom Brennan 13, 2 Dan Bewley 12, 3 Steve Worrall 11, 4 Tai Woffinden 10, 5 Chris Harris 10, 6 Adam Ellis 9, 7 Robert Lambert 9, 8 Charles Wright 8, 9 Anders Rowe 7, 10 Kyle Howarth 6, 11 Craig Cook 6, 12 Connor Mountain 6, 13 Jordan Jenkins 5, 14 Lewis Kerr 4, 15 Drew Kemp 4, 16 Simon Lambert 0.<\/p>\n SEMI-FINAL:<\/strong> Woffinden, Harris, Worrall, Ellis.<\/p>\n FINAL:<\/strong> Bewley, Woffinden, Brennan, Harris.<\/p>\n Words SpeedwayGP – Feature Image by Taylor Lanning<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Great Britain shooting star Tom Brennan admits he will be getting a few tips from Speedway GP-winning stepdad Martin Dugard after sealing the FIM Speedway GP of Great Britain \u2013 Cardiff wild card in Manchester on Saturday.
