2nd Place Finish at Brands Hatch: GT Cup
FF Corse driver Gary Eastwood made a fantastic return to the GT Cup podium after being forced to miss the Oulton Park round due to illness.
Having suffered from handling problems and a trip to the gravel in qualifying leaving, Gary started both races from 8th place on the grid. Despite this set-back the FF Corse driver staged an effective fightback in the races to finish second on the road in both races. Unfortunately the fightback was a bit too effective and he was penalised 20 seconds for a yellow flag infringement in the first race, but made up for it by repeating the second place finish in a rain soaked second race, this time with no penalty.
Rupert Martin was visiting the Brands Hatch GP for the first time and conditions in both races could not have been more difficult for the Dextra sponsored car. Despite this and a couple of spins in the races, Rupert improved steadily throughout the weekend, accumulating enough Championship points along the way to take him to 101 points in the Championship table.
