LOGGIE’S BRITISH GT TITLE CONUNDRUM
Ian Loggie could seal British GT’s title a round early at Brands Hatch’s race this weekend but the matter is complicated by the ongoing appeal of the preceding Spa result.
Spa’s results, and the title standings, are provisional as on-the-road winners Nick Halstead and Jamie Stanley’s Fox Motorsport McLaren raced under appeal following a qualifying overboosting issue.
As Motorsport News went to press on Monday, it was unlikely but not impossible that the case could be heard before Brands’ weekend.
In the provisional standings
Loggie has a 39-point lead over 2 Seas Mercedes’s James Cottingham/Lewis Williamson next up, with Barwell Lamborghini’s Adam Balon/Sandy Mitchell and Redline’s Alex Malykhin/James Dorlin in close proximity of second place. There are 37.5 points available at Donington Park’s mid-October season finale.
Loggie and Cottingham/Williamson are set for success penalties at Brands, their length depending on the appeal outcome, while Balon/Mitchell could also get a penalty. As at Silverstone earlier this season, Brands’penalties will be applied retrospectively if the appeal is still outstanding.
