Results GT4 combined
Barwell Motorsport’s Rob Collard and Sandy Mitchell topped the combined times in Intelligent Money British GT Championship qualifying this afternoon to set up a thrilling GT3 title showdown at the #Silverstone500, while Sam Smelt and James Kell claimed the first GT4 pole for Speedworks Motorsport’s Toyota GR Supra.
GT3’s other title-contending crews – Sam De Haan/Patrick Kujala, James Baldwin/Michael O’Brien and Adam Balon/Phil Keen – start in the overall top-five, which also features Ian Loggie and Yelmer Buurman who claimed Pro-Am pole and second overall.
Jamie Caroline and Dan Vaughan (TF Sport) were pipped to GT4 pole by Smelt’s late flying lap but will be content to start on the front row after seeing their main title rivals – Patrick Kibble/Connor O’Brien and Jordan Collard/Patrik Matthiesen – struggle en route to sixth and seventh, respectively.
Elsewhere, Lucky Khera and Ross Wylie combined to give Simon Green Motorsport’s Ferrari the GTC class pole position.
