GT World Challenge R2 2022 – Brands Hatch
Saw this get mentioned on the SES Facebook page, so I am assuming there was at least one other person from the forum there?
The GT World Challenge (formerly Blancpain) has been my favourite event at Brands the last few years and this year some Italian guy called Rossi is racing in the series. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...e50c9d90_b.jpg Apparently he won something on a bike once or twice (or nine times) and a lot of people turned out to see him. Because of the big crowds we picked a different spot for each of the two races and stayed put, so not much variety in these pictures. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...f1d6d9d3_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...e15d72fc_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...5b146959_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...cf8b723e_b.jpg Timur Boguslavskiy and Raffaele Marciello absolutely dominated race two, didn’t see them put a wheel wrong for the whole hour. Very deserving win for them. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a53f1d0c_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...1057d2c5_b.jpg I am rather partial to the GT3 Huracan, but I wasn’t convinced on this livery! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...6668bd9b_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...3de4b738_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...e8225e43_b.jpg Not quite as many marques at the Brands round this year (no Bentley or Aston Martin), but still cars from six different manufacturers entered. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...76da52d2_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...96873f2e_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...5550cf89_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...ea880285_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...281f87b1_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...f99be6e8_b.jpg The Rofgo Gulf liveried Audi was my favourite looking car at the 2021 round so I was hoping to get some pictures of the latest specification R8 GT3 car in those colours. Unfortunately the car was involved in a collision at turn one on lap one, so I only got to see it do one warm up lap… https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...77a10cc5_b.jpg …but they did at least manage to get a car together to get the drivers out again for race two. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a1cfff8e_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...2cbe41bf_b.jpg Racing wasn’t quite as dramatic as last year, but still really entertaining. Said it before, but I think the GT3 class is an absolute winner. Tempted to give British GT a look later in the year so I can get another GT3 fix!

Cracking pictures look like a really good day.

From a selfish standpoint it wasn't quite as enjoyable as last year, as it wasn't possible to move between the best spots during a race... but the big crowds are surely a good thing for the Championship and it was more relaxing staying put for each race! |
