The one and only visit to Brands Hatch of the year was for the Tunbridge Wells motor clubs annual sprint.
Arrived not expecting to do all that well as there were 2 911 Gt3's another CSL and a BMW Z3m coupe all in my class as well as several other potentially quick cars.
The practice run consisted of of 2.5 laps of which the first 1.5 laps were timed. Hoping to be 3rd of 4th after practice so was very please to see I was 1st with a time of 95.76 with the modified 996 GT3 2nd with a time of 97.07 and the 997 GT3 RS in third with a time of 98.14. everyone else in the class was over 100s.
Unfortunately after the practice run in it became apparent that the the 996 GT3 was having some issue and wasn't going to be able to take part in the timed runs, real shame but did relieve some pressure.
After the first timed run all was still looking good, I'd gone slightly faster with a time of 94.53 with the closest rival in the 997 GT3 RS a couple of seconds behind on 96.23 so all was looking good.
Going into the last run with a 1.7s advantage must have given me a false sense of security as not only did I fail to better my time but the 997 GT3 RS found just over two seconds to snatch the win. Still left happy as I turned a possible 3rd place into a second (all be it at the expense of the 996 GT3)
The result leaves me with a score of 107 in the Tunbridge wells motor club all circuits championship with the second placed car on 98 so this championships looking very positive
