SUPPORT RACES
Harry King and Josh Webster split Porsche Carrera Cup GB honours between them, Webster winning race one and King the second race from third on the grid. Porsche GB Junior King qualified on pole – netting two championship points – and led away in the opener but walloped the Chicane Recticel barrier mid-race doing enough damage to allow Webster to reel him in and take over the lead. King never gave up and hung on to second as Esmee Hawkey won Pro- Am with a best-ever third. King turned the tables in race two to take a maiden win while Webster became stuck in traffic finishing behind rookie Scott McKenna who took an impressive second place.
Max Coates won a frantic third Mini Challenge race, fending off a gutsy effort by Scotsman Kyle Reid, who had clattered past Callum Newsham early on. Ant Whorton-Eales won the opening race but seemed to struggle in race two with a car that looked overly stiff. Nathan Harrison bagged second in race one and a win in race two but AW-E left Donington as the championship points leader.
Will Burns was the class act in the Ginetta GT4 Supercup as he won two of the three races. He beat
Tom Hibbert and impressive Junior graduate Gus Burton in race one, with Burton turning the tables on Hibbert for second place in race two. After a third and a second, Burton continued his pattern in race three to take a maiden win ahead of Burns and Hibbert, while Colin White took three ProAm wins.
Georgi Dimitrov was impressive in the three Ginetta Junior scraps that were typically frenetic. After Bradley Voisin pipped Dimitrov in Saturday’s opener, Dimitrov opened his account with a win on Sunday morning in which he fended off the challenge of Tom Lebbon. Dimitrov won the closer, too, with Joel Pearson taking second from Zak Taylor after Lebbon was penalised five seconds for exceeding track limits.
Three different winners – Alex Connor, Zak O’Sullivan and James Hedley – proved that British F4 is in for a competitive season. In a weekend of mixed fortunes, Luke Browning scored two seconds and O’Sullivan a third to add to his win.
