Josh Webster (Team Parker Racing) secured the final pole position of the 2019 Porsche Carrera Cup GB season at Brands Hatch, the 2014 champion and former Porsche GB Scholar ended Saturday’s session ahead of Lewis Plato (Motorbase Performance). Wet conditions made the 2.4-mile Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit incredibly challenging, some drivers sliding off the track leading to three red flag periods during the 30 minute session. Webster set his best time early into the session, Plato came to within 0.140secs of it in the latter stages while 2018 Porsche Carrera Cup GB champion Tio Ellinas (Redline Racing) recorded a time good enough for third on the grid – Ellinas will start alongside Dan Vaughan (Motorbase Performance) on the second row.

Newly crowned Porsche Carrera Cup GB champion – 18-year-old Porsche GB 2018 / 2019 Junior Dan Harper (JTR) – topped Friday Practice as the championship’s final weekend got underway in Kent. Despite slippery weather conditions, Porsche GB Junior Harper mastered the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit to end the day ranked ahead of Josh Webster (Team Parker Racing) and returnee Ross Wylie (IN2 Racing) in the Pro category standings. The morning Practice session was punctuated by red flag periods as the drivers got to grips with difficult wet conditions, the afternoon’s session was a similar story with a mixture of wet and dry weather running.
