Tuthill Porsche customer, EB Motorsports has enjoyed another great weekend’s racing, this time at the Brands Hatch Masters Historic Festival.
Racing in the Masters 70s Celebration with JD Classics Challenge, EB’s Mark Bates qualified fifth, took his Tuthill-prepared 911 RSR up to second and set fastest lap before handing over to brother James, new to the cockpit this year. James preserved the position and brought the car home an excellent second overall.
“P2 overall but another first in class finish,” smiled Mark after the race. “Brands is a beautiful circuit and we were up against some very quick cars, including TWR Jaguar and Rover touring car heroes.
“After a minor issue in Friday testing was resolved, the car just went quicker and quicker all weekend, revelling in the sunshine. Fastest lap is always a thrill and the result keeps us top of the championship: a solid defence of our 2011 Masters Historic title.”
The next round of the 2012 Masters Series is June 23 and 24 at Dijon, France. Dijon is a terrific circuit offering the drivers similar challenges to Brands Hatch, with an envious sports car heritage. Should be a terrific event: we’re looking forward to seeing what James can do next season in the new 911 3.0 RSR Tuthill Porsche is currently building for the team.
