Barwell Motorsport emerged victorious from a dramatic and incident-filled British GT Championship encounter at Spa-Francorchamps, with Alex Martin and Jarrod Waberski claiming overall honours aboard the #78 Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo reports Jurek Biegus from GT REPORT.
Competing alongside the French GT Championship on a packed 55-car grid, the Belgian contest was repeatedly interrupted by Full Course Yellow and Safety Car interventions, creating a strategic battle as much as an outright sprint.
Starting from pole position, Simon Orange’s #67 Orange Racing McLaren inherited top spot on the grid after Kevin Tse’s #18 2 Seas Motorsport Mercedes-AMG GT3 was relegated to the rear following a ride-height infringement in qualifying. With an additional 20-second success penalty to serve after victory at Oulton Park, Tse faced an uphill challenge from the outset.
The pre-race drama was not confined to the Mercedes camp. Mike Price’s McLaren failed to leave the grid under its own power and required recovery, while second-placed starter Morgan Tilbrook was forced into the pits at the end of the formation laps after developing a problem, effectively dropping him close to a lap behind before the race had properly begun.
