After a great winning start to the British GT season for FF Corse drivers Gary Eastwood & Adam Carroll the win was disrupted with a retrospective 5 second penalty. The result being the teams’ 1st place position in race 1 being dropped to 2nd overall. The penalty came about as a result of a protest from a rival team over a ‘pit-stop technicality’.
The race result followed superb qualifying performances by the drivers, netting front row starting positions for both races.
In race two, the FF Corse Ferrari 458 GT3 had another strong start and took the lead in the first stint with Adam Carroll undertaking the driving duties. Unfortunately, the addition of an extra 15 second success penalty at the pit stops dropped the team back back down the order for the start of Gary Eastwood’s stint (ironically, a legacy of the success for winning race 1!). However, Gary’s pace was immediate and he clawed his way back up into a potential podium finish, before a spin on heavily worn tyres, dropped the car a further couple of race positions.
The team now currently occupy second place in the Championship and head to Rockingham (the scene of previous team success) on May 3rd for the next round, with high hopes of another strong result.
