Ferrari Open – Brands Hatch
FF Corse drivers Gary Eastwood, Mick Dwane & Jacques Duyver all achieved podium results in Ferrari Open, held at Brands Hatch over the Jubilee bank holiday.
Gary Eastwood had the best result of the trio of FF Corse drivers with pole position and a dominant win in race 1. In race 2 he looked set to repeat this and maintain his 100% winning record for the season until a rare spin, whilst leading in very tricky wet conditions, dropped him to 4th place in the proceedings. The result promoted Mick Dwane to the head of the Class 4 to take his first class win of the year and Jacques Duyver finished a remarkable 2nd overall on the podium in his Ferrari 430 Challenge.
The race meeting was the culmination of a very busy weekend for Jacques, who had also competed in the Britcar round on the Saturday with Charlie Hollings in his FF Corse run Ferrari F430 Challenge. Unfortunately for the pairing, after qualifying 2nd in class their race was delayed after a collision with another car and the resulting trip into the gravel led to a delayed pit-stop, putting the team out of contention.
The Ferrari Open’s next outing is to Spa-Franchorchamps next month – the week after the Ferrari Challenge race meeting
