LOGGIE CONFIDENT OF TITLE DESPITE BRANDS SETBACK
Ian Loggie remains confident of wrapping up British GT’s overall drivers’title at its Donington Park finale next month after missing a chance to do so at Brands Hatch.
Loggie’s RAM Racing Mercedes finished sixth at Brands’ penultimate 2022 round 10 days ago after contact with Adam Balon’s Barwell Lamborghini and subsequent handling problems.
Loggie is therefore 24.5 points clear of Balon/Sandy Mitchell with 37.5 points available at Donington. James Cottingham/ Lewis Williamson’s 2 Seas Mercedes and Morgan Tillbrook/ Marcus Clutton’s Enduro McLaren also have a title chance. However the Barwell and Enduro cars have Donington success penalties while Loggie does not. Fifth place will guarantee Loggie the crown.
Loggie told Motorsport News: “I’ve got a few races to do [before Donington] so we’re going to be well oiled. Let’s put it this way: if you started the season you were going into [the final round] with your closest contender 24.5 points behind and they’ve got a 15-second penalty, you’d be like I’m taking that all day long.”
