Following on from their stellar efforts at the opening round of the GT Cup at Donington Park, IDC Racing’s Oli Webb and Iain Campbell made their way to the iconic Brands Hatch circuit to battle it out again in a stacked field for round 2. After a top-five result at the opening round of the season at Donington Park, rookie racer Iain Campbell and his professional co-driver Oli Webb were the team’s highest-finishing crew at Brands Hatch in sixth spot in the #23 car.
IDC director Iain Campbell had started the second of two 50-minute ‘Endurance’ races from 13th place in the ultra-competitive GTH class but maintained his recent trend of gaining ground at the start to climb to 10th among a record 45-car field for the series. He coped superbly with a shattered drivers-side window that was most likely caused by an impact with a stone thrown up by another car, that required him to wind the window down just to be able to use his wing mirror and resulted in excessive wind in the car. A driver change swiftly executed by Greystone GT’s experienced pit crew released Oli who went on track with a determined charge during the second half of the race.
Iain and Oli finished Saturdays back to back races as follows:
Race 1: Qualified 12th in class and finished 9th.
Race 2: Started 13th with a well fought finish of 6th place.
The results at Brands Hatch leave Iain an Oli eighth in the GTH overall.
