British GT: Adam Does it Again! Beechdean Aston Martin Quickest In FP2

After going quickest in the first practice session for Round Five of the 2020 Intelligent Money British GT Championship at Brands Hatch, four-time drivers champion Jonny Adam topped the time sheets again in FP2 with a 1:27.208. Adam and team owner Andrew Howard are reuniting in the #7 Beechdean Aston Martin AMR Vantage GT3 at Brands Hatch this weekend for the first time since their championship-winning season in 2015.

Second quickest in FP2 overall was the #10 2 Seas Motorsport McLaren 720S GT3 in which Jack Mitchell put in a 1:25.573 at the half-way point of the session.

Completing the top three was the #2 Jenson Team Rocket RJN McLaren, James Baldwin lapping in 1:25.586 before an apparent mechanical failure side-lined the car for the final 15 minutes.

TF Sport again went quickest in the GT4 class, the #97 Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 setting a 1:32.146 in the hands of Daniel Vaughan and Jamie Caroline while the sister #95 entry was .413 seconds behind with a 1:32.146.

Franck Perera showed the pace of the #18 WPI Motorsport Lamborghini Huracan GT3 he shares with Michael Igoe with a 1:25.783 to go fourth quickest overall. With a win at Donington Park and the team’s confidence sky-high after working through two driver substitutions, Andrea Calderelli joining the team for rounds three and four replacing Dennis Lind, the #18 car will be one to watch going into qualifying later on Saturday August 29.

The four ten-minute qualifying sessions get underway at 16:00 on August 29, the aggregate times of the two drivers in each car setting the grid for the two-hour race for which the lights go out at 13:00 on Sunday August 30.
