"Thank you to all our drivers this year and also to Porsche for running a great series" - Benji Hetherington

​It was time for the final round of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB Championship which took us back to Brands Hatch Kent ready to get both Pro and Am drivers ready for the weekend ahead. 

​Saturday saw Ross ready for qualifying with Lucky being unable to attend it was a single car qualifying for the team. Qualifying was in dry and cold conditions and took place in the afternoon and was fiercely competitive from the beginning and Ross finished P9 in the Pro class setting his starting position for the first race the following day. 

​Sunday came around quickly with both races taking place that day at 12.10 and 16.20 with Lucky's return the team were busy getting the cars race ready and working with the drivers to make any changes needed. 

Race 1 was underway and Ross made a great start to improve his position which led him to finish p7 in the pro class and with Lucky starting at the back of the grid ended the race in an impressive P3 gaining himself another podium.

Race 2 was later that day and would mark the end of the 2021 Carrera Cup season with Ross starting on the 5th row and Lucky 9th it was time for lights out. Lucky unfortunately was taken out of the race through collision with another car causing him to finish on a DNF result. Ross got away well starting the race off to a good start. Ross raced through until the Checkered flag finishing P6 in the pro class.

When speaking to team manager Benji Hetherington about the 2021 championship he said,

"we missed 2020 in Carrera Cup GB which was disappointing for the team and I but with hindsight, if you'd told me we would have the year we have had - I'd have snapped your hand off.

​We've run 5 drivers this year and had podiums, fastest laps and pole positions which is just a wonderful statement for our team and for me - our business model. 2022 prep is well underway and I am very optimistic for another step forward for our team and everyone in the team is looking forward to racing the 992. We have been up against the 992 in other series that Valluga compete in this year and know first hand what an amazing piece of equipment it is. Thank you to all our drivers this year and also to Porsche for running a great series.".
