James Cottingham and Jonny Adam took advantage of a mid-race Safety Car period and some rapid 2 Seas Motorsport pit work to claim their second Intelligent Money British GT Championship wins of the season at Donington Park today, while Optimum’s Jack Brown and Charles Clark provisionally scored their second GT4 victories in as many races after early sparring partners DTO Motorsport retired.
Adam took the chequered flag just 0.9s ahead of RACE LAB’s McLaren shared by Lucky Khera and Euan Hankey who set a new lap record during his late pursuit of the Mercedes-AMG, while Ian Loggie and Jules Gounon made it a 2 Seas one-three after gaining significant ground when the Safety Car period coincided with the pitstop window.
GT3 Silver-Am honours went to Sky Tempesta Racing’s Kevin Tse and Chris Froggatt who also finished an excellent sixth overall.
Further back, Ian Gough and Tom Wrigley (RACE LAB) were runners-up behind Optimum but took Pro-Am victory ahead of class rivals Carl Cavers and Lewis Plato, who finished third on the road.
However, GT4’s result will remain provisional pending the outcome of an appeal over Silverstone’s race positions. Donington’s Compensation Time will only be applied retrospectively once that result has been confirmed.
