Dan’s the man again as he takes a brace

Porsche Carrera Cup GB

- By Tom Errington

Dan Cammish responded to his Croft setback with two victories, double pole and a fastest lap to reassert his control over the Porsche Carrera Cup GB at Snetterton.

Cammish’s two victories were never in doubt, but it was Porsche scholar and rookie team-mate Charlie Eastwood that would challenge him.

In the first race, Cammish’s good start meant he pulled clear of his team-mate in second and settled into a rhythm.

That coincided with an upturn in pace from Eastwood, who closed in and forced the leader to respond with fastest laps to take victory with the impressive Tom Sharp in third.

“Charlie did so well behind me and he really pushed me and it’s good to see,” said Cammish. “I just hope it doesn’t change to me chasing him though!”

Thankfully for Cammish he didn’t have to chase his rival in the finale, again beating Eastwood and taking Redline Racing’s 100th win in the class.

It was a more comfortabl­e victory after Eastwood’s error on the first lap had him touch the grass and lose time.

Third was Cammish’s title rival Dino Zamparelli after seeing off the fast advancing Tom Oliphant.

Zamparelli had slashed Cammish’s lead to three points at Croft, but a tough qualifying and a solitary podium means his rival now leads by 20.
