British GT - Spa - 2024
Having had four races back-to-back, it’s taken a little time to come up for air and we have only just had two minutes to put together the album from the British GT round across the pond at Spa. The circuit of Spa-Francorchamps is one that has become a fairly regular stop for us, with three races there per season for the last few years.
“2 Seas Motorsport drivers Kevin Tse and Maximilian Goetz took victory in British GT’s annual European away day at Spa-Francorchamps, which was truncated by a lengthy red-flag period.
Ian Gough and Tom Wrigley also scored both theirs, and the Century Motorsport team’s, first GT4 victories of the season after keeping things clean in an otherwise frantic GT4 contest, their BMW M4 leading home the twin Forsetti Motorsport Aston Martins of Marc Warren/Will Orton and Jamie Day/Mikey Porter.
A multi-car accident on the run from La Source to Eau Rouge on the opening lap resulted in contact between Sacha Kakad, Simon Orange and Carl Cavers, which sent the latter two cars off. The accident caused significant barrier damage, meaning the race had to be red flagged. It eventually resumed for a shortened one hour 16 minutes, with poleman Tse controlling the remainder of his stint before handing to Goetz who completed the job.
It looked like Giacomo Petrobelli and Jonny Adam were set for second place, but they were robbed by an engine failure that forced Blackthorn’s Aston Martin out with 12 minutes remaining. That opened the door for Shaun Balfe and Adam Smalley’s Garage 59 McLaren to lead Rob and Ricky Collard’s Barwell Lamborghini to the flag.” - www.britishgt.com
