Optimum Motorsport duo Flick Haigh and Jonny Adam will start tomorrow’s two-hour British GT race from pole position after a scorching hot qualifying session on Saturday.
Haigh had put the #75 Aston Martin in a strong fourth position behind Andrew Howard (#99 Aston Martin), Graham Davidson (47 Aston Martin) and Rick Parfitt Junior (#1 Bentley) to get ahead of championship leaders Jon Minshaw and Phil Keen (#33 Lamborghini) in AM qualifying.
And Adam set the second fastest time of the GT3 Pro qualifying session to take overall pole position, with only Yelmer Buurman in the #116 Mercedes bettering Adam’s 1:25.182.
Darren Turner got his #99 Aston Martin to overall second in GT3, the Beechdean Aston Martin squad are just 0.4 behind Adam and Haigh, while Phil Keen rescued third for a Barwell Lamborghini #33 team that could take the title if they win and results go their way on Sunday.
Mark Farmer spun off for the #11 TF Sport Aston Martin he shares with Nicki Thiim in Am qualifying to dent their championship aspirations, and they will line up at the back of the GT3 grid. The #26 Ultimate Speed Aston Martin of Michael Brown and Matt Manderson will not start tomorrow after a heavy crash in practice severely damaged all four corners of the car.
In GT4 it was the Century Motorsport BMW show as the #42 and #43 crews frequently traded fastest laps, with Jack Mitchell and Dean MacDonald in the championship leading #43 crew eventually winning out ahead of Ben Tuck and Ben Green.
Jack Mitchell took another step towards Championship glory in GT4 with pole
Mitchell’s final effort of a 1:32.772 was just 0.009 quicker than Tuck’s best effort in Pro qualifying, while MacDonald was ahead of Green by just 0.013 of a second, meaning the top two are split by 0.022 seconds.
The #61 Academy Motorsport of Tom Wood and Jan Jonck qualified third, just 0.3 behind the battling BMWs while the championship-challenging #4 Tolman McLaren crew of Charlie Fagg and Michael O’Brien go from fourth.
GT4 REACTION – Jack Mitchell:
“Qualifying pace is usually our strongest, race pace always strong for us so we knew we were going to be quite strong.
“It’s a bit of an unknown after the first session with Ben Tuck so close to Dean (teammate), but you always know it’s going to be close between me and Ben Tuck. To just beat them was good for me championship-wise and for the race, I have an added 20s penalty so I’m not totally expecting to win, but as we saw with Spa, you never know in motorsport. All we have to do is keep getting consistent results and my team have been amazing.
“17 points sounds like a lot but there’s a ten-point gap between first and second place, it’s a big jump. If that happened this weekend then it would be down to the wire this weekend. We’ll keep doing what we’re doing.
“I feel safer in a way because if the McLarens were all ganged up behind us then I’d be much more worried, Ben is still going to be trying as hard as possible to be getting past so it won’t be easy.”
Billy Monger feels that global motorsport is as safe as it can be in the present climate and that you “can never predict everything” when it comes to the issue of safety.
Monger lost both of his legs in a freak British F4 accident at Donnington Park last year and praised the work done by authorities to make the sport as safe as possible.
“Motorsport is as safe as it can be at the moment, the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes to make it safer, there’s been so much pioneered over the years that if we were racing with the standards that we had back in the 80s and 90s it would be worse, we’re in a much better place now.
“There’s still stuff that you can improve on, with my accident they’ve made changes to the F4 cars so that hopefully the same thing that happened to me won’t happen again, we can do our best to try and eliminate everything.”
Monger thanked well-wishers for their continued support, and said that they played a big part in getting him through the ordeal after his accident.
“The support I’ve had has been crazy, I can fault it and it’s been overwhelmingly good and I only hope that others in this situation get the support I got because the amount of support I got after what happened to me really helped me pull through.”
The 19-year-old from Reigate qualified third on the grid for Saturday’s British F3 race at Brands Hatch, and says that the infamous “leggie” celebration – drinking champagne from his prosthetic leg in a reference to Daniel Ricciardo’s “shoey”, may return after it debuted at Spa.
“I said to the team that if I win this weekend then they’ve all got it drink out of it, not just me so that’s the goal to get everyone drinking out of my leg. I don’t want to overuse it but it will come out again, but I’d love to do it while winning.”
Monger says that the celebration came about after a chat with an ex-soldier wounded while on tour.
“The leggy came about as I’ve recently spent a lot of time with some ex-military people, one in particular told me that he sometimes drinks out of his leg when he gets drunk, so I thought that “I’ve never tried it, why not?”.
“The podium at Spa was a great result, it just popped into my to do it with some champagne on the podium. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, it’s a first for me.”
IndyCar has evolved huge amounts over the last decade in terms of safety with numerous crashes and unfortunate tragedies to be learnt from. Development has come for the cars, the tracks and the safety crews but it’s a constant race to keep the stars as safe as possible with speeds reaching in excess of 230mph.
One of the biggest changes to come to the oval races was the introduction of the Steel and Foam Energy Reduction Barriers, more commonly known as just ‘SAFER Barriers’. These first came about, after a number of high profile fatalities, in 2002 when they were installed at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway before being retro-fitted to all ovals used by IndyCar and NASCAR by 2006. Since then, the SAFER Barriers have been used at some IndyCar road courses – such as Watkins Glen – where there’s not enough room for sufficient run off given the speed of the cars.

Iowa Speedway was actually the first track to have the SAFER Barriers incorporated in the track design, featured around the whole perimeter of the track to reduce the loading on the driver, decreasing the chance of injury or worse.
During the event itself, the AMR IndyCar Safety Team are there for the drivers, should they be in need of their assistance. A dedicated team consisting of three trucks and, in total, twelve personnel, follow IndyCar around for every race of the season, joining forces with the local safety teams at each track. This group are there to focus on the three main areas of an incident – the impact zone with the wall, the place where the car comes to rest (including the driver) and the debris field. The teams will be dispatched to every incident from a simple breakdown to a multi-car wreck and, for 99% of the time, the incident can just be cleared and the session can continue as usual.
It’s that 1% where the problem lies.
One of those such incidents happened on 18th May 2015 during Practice 8 of the Indy 500, the day after qualifying. It was about an hour into the session and James Hinchcliffe was getting some draft practice in before race day when his right front rocker failed. This was a highly unusual failure, when cars have been through huge crashes, their rockers will more than likely be intact but, for Hinchcliffe, that wasn’t the case. The Canadian was left a passenger in his #5 Schmidt Peterson as it ploughed into the wall of the famous speedway coming out of Turn 3 and into Turn 4. From the outside, the crash didn’t look that bad at first, sure, it was a big hit but we see them quite a lot in IndyCar.
However, all was far from well. The piece of suspension that had caused the crash had also puncture the tub and, along with it, Hinchcliffe’s thigh. Worse still, it had hit the Canadian’s femoral artery. This was not good news but, thanks to the quick work of the Safety Team, they managed to get Hinchcliffe out of the car and to the hospital – all with about 90 seconds to spare before his time was up.
Just days after Hinchcliffe’s crash, parts had been added to the rockers on all cars to stop them failing in the same manner and the tubs had been strengthened further to prevent anything from puncturing it.
Once Hinchcliffe had recovered enough to be conscious and talking, his third question was “when can I get back in a car?” which is true testament to the mentality of racing drivers. Return he did, having sat out the rest of the 2015 season, Hinchcliffe was back for 2016 and, incredibly, took pole for the Indy 500, at the track that had so nearly claimed his life the year before.
Another one of those 1% crashes came at the Indy 500 last year when Sebastien Bourdais hit the barriers during his qualifying run. After running pole pace on his first two laps, Bourdais lost control of his car on the third, hitting the wall and causing the tub to break. As a result, Bourdais fractured his pelvis but, thankfully for him, that was the only damage done and he returned to racing just over three months later at Gateway. The consequences weren’t nearly as severe for Bourdais as they were for Hinchcliffe but both their injuries contributed to the all-new design for the 2018 cars.
The biggest change on the new cars safety-wise was the restructuring of the sidepods. They, along with the oil and water radiators, were moved forwards to be ahead of the driver’s hips, providing extra cushioning to the driver in the case of a side impact, such as Bourdais’. Additionally, a wider edge to the base of the sidepod and other modifications means the cars are less likely to go airborne during spins and collisions, as they have been doing in previous years.
Also, the front and rear wings have less elements and the rear wheel guards, along with the winglets, have been removed, all to reduce the amount of potential flying debris in incidents. The design of these cars allows for a cockpit windscreen to be put in place which is where IndyCar is heading next.
While F1 have pushed ahead in developing and implementing the ‘Halo’, IndyCar have been forced to take a different route, primarily because of the ovals and the visual implications to the driver that would surface as a result. IndyCar’s cockpit windscreen has already had a few running’s in tests and practice sessions by numerous drivers, who agree that it takes a while to get used to but does need to be put in place.
IndyCar has a very personal reason for wanting some form of cockpit protection. Back in 2015, Justin Wilson was killed at Pocono when he was struck by a piece of front wing from Sage Karam’s crashed car, it was a fatality that shook IndyCar to the core and the first in the series since the much-loved Dan Wheldon in 2011. Following Wilson’s crash, front and rear wings were tethered to the main body of the car, in a similar way to the wheels, to prevent them from breaking free but the huge loss was all the same.
Over the years, huge changes have been made to all aspects of IndyCar, making the series much safer than before with the crashes acting at catalysts for quick or more long-term changes. However, like any other form of motorsport, there are still changes to be made and, as it was put it perfectly in the documentary ‘Yellow Yellow Yellow: The IndyCar Safety Team’, “you think you’ve got every aspect covered until they figure out another way to crash…”
Jamie Caroline took his first British F3 pole position in a qualifying session that ebbed and flowed at Brands Hatch.
On the longer GP circuit, Caroline was one of the earlier pacesetters, swapping pole with Carlin teammate Billy Monger.
Once he usurped Monger towards the end of the session, Caroline gradually bettered his time from a 1:21.7s to the 1:21.596s that he eventually ended the session on.
Caroline was just 0.062s clear of Nicolai Kjaergaard’s late surge. The Dane had been towards the end of the top six before a last-gasp 1:21.658 put him second on the grid.
That knocked teammate Monger down to third to complete the Carlin 1-2-3, although man from Reigate was just 0.011 seconds further back after earlier being the man to beat at his home circuit.
Championship leader Linus Lundqvist was fourth, only a tenth away from Caroline. The Swede has a comfortable 120-point lead over Kjaergaard in the standings, and can afford to start from fourth on the grid.
The other two drivers with faint Championship hopes start sixth and eighth respectively.
Kush Maini lines up on the third row of the grid after being pipped to sixth by Sun Yue Yang, while Gamble was surprisingly off the pace after a stellar weekend at Spa-Francorchamps last time out.
The session was brought to an end early by a red flag with just over a minute to go, as Caroline completed his all action session by spinning into the pit wall before recovering back to the pits.
Race One of three this weekend gets underway at 5:35pm on Saturday.
Double R’s Linus Lundqvist may have a 120-point lead in the British F3 series, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be settling for anything less than a victory,
A good weekend in Spa that saw the 19-year-old take his first double-victory of the season has seen the Swede’s lead extend to more than a weekend’s total.
But that doesn’t mean Lundqvist is taking it easy despite his big lead.
“From a championship point of view, it is about staying out of trouble and getting on the podium but I go racing to win. I do this because I love winning and I love racing, around this circuit you need to qualify well and if we get up there we’ll see what we can do.”
That approach does not mean that Lundqvist isn’t thinking about his potential championship success.
“I’m not going to be one of those drivers that lie and says that he’s not thinking about the Championship because obviously you do and it’s looking very good right now.
“It’s motorsport though, and looking back last year here there was a treble-DNF in F4 for me so if we have one of those weekends the gap will shrink very quickly. I’m taking nothing for granted, but all of this proves that we’re doing it right. I’m enjoying it.”
Lundqvist’s cause has been helped by Nicolai Kjaergaard’s sudden loss of form. The Dane was level on points with Lundqvist at Snetterton, but a run of only one podium from six races has seen him drop well.
“I should not take pleasure from other people’s misfortune,” said Lundqvist when asked about his consistency relative to his rivals.
“I was happy with the way I produced the result. It was the first double win of the season so I felt great, to do it at Spa as well is amazing because it’s a legendary track and I had a lot of sponsors and friends there so it was very nice to produce those results in front of them.”
Lundqvist was coy when asked about his plans for next season, although he is likely to move up to international racing.
“Nothing is decided for next year, it is no secret that you need a good budget. My first aim is to do well in this series and hopefully win the championship and we’ll see what my sponsors think and whether they’ll come along for next year. We know what we want to do.”

Lanan’s Kush Maini insists that he remains focused after conceding that winning the British F3 championship is unlikely.
Maini trails leader Linus Lundqvist by over 140 points with nine rounds left, starting at the Brands Hatch GP circuit, but says that the motivation is still there.
“You always want to go out and do your best. Nicolai (Kjaergaard, second in the standings) also had a bad weekend at Spa and he’s in range.
“So after all the bad luck to be in that position I am pretty happy. I just have to keep pushing and we’ll try and get him.”
This is the first tie that the 17-year-old Indian has ever been on the Grand Prix circuit, but he isn’t fazed by his lack of track experience.
“Even the Indy Circuit is not a straightforward track, and this is my first time on the GP circuit and I’m sure that will not be easy either. It’s the same for all of us that haven’t been here though. You just need to go in and get a rhythm and debrief afterwards to see what we can change.
“I spend a lot of time at iZone simulators, so I know roughly where to go and what lines to take. Every time you jump in for real it is always a little different, you have a lot more different factors to think of so I’m confident.”
Maini was non-committal on his plans for the future but hinted at moving up the Junior Formulae ladder.
“We’ll wait and see how we finish this season before deciding whether or not to move up to a bigger car.”
Maini’s brother Arjun was at the centre of the Santino Ferrucci controversy at last month’s British Grand Prix, when the American drove into the back of his Trident F2 teammate on the cooldown lap.
Kush feels that Ferrucci’s emotions got the better of him at Silverstone
“I think something was going on in his mind, maybe he was frustrated as Arjun was quicker. I can’t say too much but it was all a little unnecessary.”
Sachsenring was… eventful for the Moto2 class. It all started on lap two when Mattia Pasini’s crash left Francesco Bagnaia with nowhere to go but the grass. The crash of Pasini was then proceeded by a plethora of falls, including a potentially fatal one for the championship contention of Lorenzo Baldassarri.
Bagnaia was able to recover his position to finish twelfth, passing Alex Marquez in the final corner. But with Miguel Oliveira only qualifying seventeenth and with Bagnaia’s stellar pace across the weekend, Sachsenring was another opportunity for the Italian to extend his championship advantage, but with bad luck the chance went abegging. Nonetheless Pecco made a good recovery, and maintained his position at the top of the standings going into the summer break. Now the championship has returned after the holidays, it will be important for Bagnaia to continue in the vein of Sachsenring because, although the result was bad, he was fast over the whole weekend like all the races so far.
For Oliveira, though, the area to work on is obvious: qualifying. Saturday afternoons have been apocalyptic for the Portuguese rider so far this year, costing him a shot at the victory on multiple occasions and whilst he is still right there in the championship fight, it is only a matter of time until a poor qualifying really catches him out and leaves him either on the floor or with a bad result. In fact, it nearly happened in Germany, as the Red Bull KTM Ajo rider was cutting through the field and lost the rear in a pretty big way on the exit of the final corner, pushing hard to try to lose as little time as possible. He was lucky it only cost him a few positions, and he got lucky with the effect Pasini’s crash had on Bagnaia, too, but this is racing and perhaps this good luck will help him (in a small way) on his way to a first World Championship.

Whilst Oliveira was able to close the gap in the championship, his teammate, 2016 Moto3 World Champion Brad Binder, was able to take his first victory of his Moto2 career in commanding fashion. There is not much to say about Binder’s race in Sachsenring, because it was pretty faultless lights-to-flag, but the journey he has been on to get there, since his broken arm in the end of 2016, has been monumental. In a sense, the victory was a surprising one, because Binder has not been in the best form this season, almost in an opposite way to Oliveira, as he has been going okay in qualifying – generally – but struggling after a few laps in the races. Hopefully for Brad, this German GP win will open the proverbial floodgates, and he can build some momentum on the back of this milestone.
Joan Mir was second in Germany, his third podium of his debut Moto2 season, putting more security on his fourth position in the championship standings. He lies fifty-three points behind in the standings, probably too far to challenge for the title, and has a factory Suzuki MotoGP contract in his pocket. But that does not make it any less important for the Spaniard to grab at least one victory in the second half of this season – to go to a factory MotoGP in the rookie year, a win in Moto2 is important for the confidence. Also, with no win, the media have something to criticise, and when something goes wrong, they will point to his lack of a Moto2 win. A win is almost essential for Mir before the end of the year, and perhaps this weekend will be the one for him to take it.
The third place on the German podium, two weeks ago, was taken by Luca Marini. Of course, whilst it was the best result of his career, it was not anything fantastic, primarily because Valentino Rossi, Marini’s maternal half-brother, finished second in the MotoGP race. But, seriously, Marini’s podium was both well-deserved and long in the making, a shoulder injury holding him back for much of the season to date. Like Binder, Marini’s first podium has the potential to be the catalyst for more top threes – even in the immediate aftermath of the race Marini mentioned several times about the importance in building the foundation with the lower steps before you reach the top. He has certainly done that, coming from the European Moto2 Championship in 2016 to essentially fight for last for one year, before a year of mixed results in 2017 led into this year which has so far culminated in his first Grand Prix podium. There is more to come from Luca Marini, and a good result in the Czech GP last year means that there will be strong hopes in the orange side od the Sky VR46 garage that more will arrive this weekend.
A crash in free practice for Alex Marquez in Germany curtailed his entire weekend, as he crossed the line in thirteenth. He is thirty-five points off the championship lead which, in Moto2, is not an impossible deficit, but if he is to overcome it, he will need to start reducing it this weekend.
The Moto3 World Championship is back from its ‘summer break’, three weeks after Jorge Martin took victory (again) in Sachsenring. And, of course, it is Martin who is leading the championship coming into the second half of the season, and with Brno being a circuit where the rider can make so much difference, Martin will be the favourite for this weekend.
But, can anyone challenge Martin? Well, possibly. Marco Bezzecchi has been the surprise of 2018, perhaps across all classes. From fighting for the last point last year to fighting for the title this, is some progression and although he hasn’t won since Argentina (his only career win), he is still right in this title fight. Also, in Sachsenring Bezzecchi continued his quite impressive statistic of this year which is that he has not finished a race and then not climbed the steps to the podium. The only races where he has not picked up a cup are Qatar, Le Mans and Assen all three being DNFs. He has been the best KTM rider this year, and it’s showing. Perhaps the biggest surprise now is that Moto2 teams aren’t – at least very publicly – bashing his door down and demanding his signature. Maybe now Martin is signed up for Red Bull KTM Ajo in Moto2 for next year, the attention will start to come the way of Bezzecchi.
Aron Canet is the only rider who made the podium in Brno last year to be in the Moto3 field this year, but the first half of the season has not gone to plan for the Spaniard. He was supposed to challenge for the championship, but like almost everyone else who was supposed to be fighting for the title things haven’t gone his way, and some mistakes have crept in too. Only three podiums in the first nine races of 2018 mean Canet comes into the second half of the year with much to improve upon. Thirty-eight points is not an insurmountable gap that Aron suffers to the top of the championship, but – like with Marquez in MotoGP – the critical part is that Jorge Martin is plain stronger at the moment, not just compared to Canet but compared to the whole field.
Sachsenring was a disaster for Enea Bastianini, as he crashed out and probably said goodbye to the final slither of an opportunity that he had for the championship. That said, his form has been quite good recently, and whilst his crash came in a bad moment for the championship, Bastianini could be well in the fight for the podium this weekend.

Marcos Ramirez was back on form in Sachsenring as he took fourth place, his best result since his most recent podium in Le Mans at round five. It was only seventh in the wet Czech GP last year for Marcos, but with a decent result to keep him upbeat over the summer he could be in the front fight this weekend.
John McPhee has come back to form in recent races. The first half of the season proved to be one of mixed fortune for John, as he suffered from a lack of testing preseason. He finally got to test post-race in Mugello, and since then has fought for the podium in every race, finally making it in Germany despite his crew chief being absent. It will be interesting to see whether the, albeit short, summer break will stall his momentum at all.
Last year’s Czech GP was the Grand Prix debut for Dennis Foggia, and he scored two points. Unfortunately for Dennis, things have not progressed much this year. He had several impressive wildcards last year, but the reigning Junior World Champion has struggled this season in his first full-time campaign in the World Championship. Combined with the disastrous season suffered by his teammate, Nicolo Bulega, who has only scored seven points this year, you have to wonder whether there is something happening inside the team to make both riders suffer so much, because the riders have talent and speed but right now they are not comfortable at all. Maybe the summer break has provided them with the reset they need ahead of the second half of the season.
Of course, the weather could play a part this weekend, with the forecast in Brno never being completely reliable, and the skies are usually up for a bit of a drizzle. Rain might be the only thing that can stop the race-winning train that is Jorge Martin this weekend, and with that in mind his championship rivals will be hoping the clouds prepare for the lightweight class battle on Sunday morning.
The British GT series rolls into Brands Hatch this weekend for a penultimate round that could see both titles wrapped up.
Jon Minshaw and Phil Keen’s #33 Barwell Lamborghini currently leads the GT3 class by 14 points while Jack Maitchell’s econd straight win last time puts his #43 Century Motorsport BMW 16.5 clear. The target is 38 points.
For Minshaw and Keen, this season has been about consistency – the #33 Lamborghini have only have one win this season but numerous other trips to the podium has left them clear while others have hit trouble.
The #11 TF Sport Aston Martin team of Mark Farmer and Nicki Thiim had more bad luck at Spa with a lap-one retirement in Race Two, and they slipped to third behind Optimum Motorsport’s Jonny Adam and Flick Haigh,
Thiim and Farmer had earlier retired at Oulton Park at the very first round and lost points at Rockingham which hampered their charge, but a good result here puts them right back in the hunt.
Haigh and Adam are the only crew in the top five to face a pit-stop success penalty, and that could prove crucial unless they build a big lead in the two-hour race on Sunday.
Meanwhile in GT4 a timely Safety Car undoubtedly helped the #43 BMW, whose full-season driver Jack Mitchell is now 16.5 points clear of HHC Motorsport’s Ginetta crew of Callum Pointon and Patrik Matthiesen, who were knocked off the championship lead for the first time since Rockingham.
Third place could be good enough for Mitchell to take the season spoils, provided that the #55 Ginetta finishes poorly and the #4 Tolman McLaren of Charlie Fagg and Michael O’Brien also hit strife.
The 2 Hours of Brands Hatch could be pivotal in deciding the destination of both British GT titles, will it be a champagne-filled Sunday night, or is are we in for a Donnington Decider in September?

Red Flags are used when Safety Cars are not enough of a safety precaution following an on-track incident.
As well as giving drivers the chance to change to fresh set of tyres and potentially gain track position, red flags are in place to make sure that the drivers do not race in conditions that are just too dangerous.
Red flags are typically seen when after an accident in which there is an incredible amount of debris on the track that should not be driven around even under a safety car. Or when one of the barriers is so damaged following a crash that it cannot absorb impacts efficiently, or during a wet race when there is so much standing water on the track that it is too dangerous to continue. At such point the race is suspended. Red Flags do count towards time limits in races.
During the Red Flag period, the drivers line up in position order in the race in the pit lane to await a restart. The race will only be restarted once the stewards and marshals deem that it is safe enough to resume racing.
Once the race is restarted, it will be restarted behind the safety car, and the race will then be resumed either with a standing start or a regular safety car restart.
If it is thought that it is too dangerous to resume the race, or that there is no point due to a lack of remaining laps in the Grand Prix, then the session will be abandoned. Should it be abandoned before the race is halfway completed, then half points will be awarded.
Red Flags can also be used in Practise, Qualifying and Test Sessions. The cars will then return to their garages at a very low speed, before being allowed back out once the danger is cleared. Again, if there is not enough time left in the session or it is too dangerous to continue, the session will not be restarted.
