SUPPORT RACES

Theo Edgerton of TCR and Jack Bartholomew of Redline Racing split Porsche Sprint Challenge GB honours as Am top dog Ian Humphris added two more wins. Edgerton ran away with the opener, but chucked away a fourth straight win in race two. First he made a dire start from pole allowing Team Parker Racing’s Ethan Hawkey to lead before Bartholomew nipped ahead at Surtees at one-third distance. Edgerton soon moved past Bartholomew but ran wide at Clearways with a third of the race left to give him back the lead. With rear damage, Edgerton did his best to chase but ran out of time and lost his unbeaten record.

The new Ginetta GT Academy kicked off with SVG Motorsport’s Toby Trice taking the opener, twice affected by a safety car, while he won race two with a last-corner lunge on Want2Race’s Angus Whiteside.

Trice made it three out of three as he relieved former Production BMW racer Ravi Ramyead of the lead of the final stanza two laps from home after Ramyead made an error.

In the Ginetta GT5 Challenge tripleheader Josh Steed of Xentek Motorsport won the opener, wherein he benefited from a time penalty for on-the-road winner John Bennett of Elite Motorsport, who was pinged for overtaking during a yellow flag period. Bennett made amends in race two to take the win from Elite teammate Will Apsin and Steed, but fell foul of rain in race three and plunged off the road at Hawthorns as Steed won again from Elite’s Will Aspin.

Marc Warren of Raceway Motorsport was the dominant driver in the G40 Cup, taking three wins out of three.

A monster grid of over 40 cars tackled the Classic Sports Car Club’s Tin Tops Series race, which was headed initially by Andrew Windmill in a Honda Civic. Eric Boulton’s fellow Civic wriggled by a lap later as the safety car was deployed, but Boulton edged away on the restart and maintained the advantage during the mandatory pitstops, a red flag ending the race and preserving his win over Robert Jarman and Jonathan Hunter.
