Title battle on: Optimum Motorsport seek strong British GT Snetterton showing While still seeking that elusive victory this year in the Intelligent Money British GT Championship, Optimum Motorsport has been racking up the points in the Silver Cup standings. Ahead of the doubleheader this coming weekend, (3-4 October) the team are fifth with 93 points. Having completed every race in the points, the #96 duo of Ollie Wilkinson and Lewis Proctor remain firmly in the title hunt, with 50 crucial points available from the two 60-minute races on Sunday.
Ollie, meanwhile, has been busy testing with the team in preparation for the 24 Hours of Spa, completing two days of running this week with GT World Challenge Europe teammates Joe Osborne and Rob Bell. The official test saw Optimum complete the programme in tricky wet conditions, something that is more than likely to greet the team at the Belgian venue next month. The return to the British GT Championship at Snetterton this weekend is equally expected to bring cold and damp conditions, especially on Saturday, for practice and qualifying. Sunday’s first race gets underway at 10.15 BST and race two at 15.10. |
