With the four title contenders posting times in the top five, the Porsche Carrera Cup GB is poised for two more hugely competitive at Rockingham this weekend after testing today (Friday 16 September) ahead of rounds 14 and 15 of the championship.Championship leader Michael Meadows (SAS/Redline) ended the day at the head of the times, but only by 0.159s from Euan Hankey (Parker with Juta) and his SAS team mate James Sutton. In Pro-Am1 Jonas Gelzinis (Juta Racing) set the pace, while at the top of Pro-Am2 was Yucel Ozbek (Redline Racing).“It’s going to be very close,” said Meadows. “Everyone is in the mix. We left it late this afternoon to run the new tyres; we were mostly concentrating on race runs before that.” Hankey was equally pleased with his day’s work. “I’m really happy with that,” said Hankey. “We were fastest on old tyres and I had a moment at Turn 2 on my best lap.”Sutton was within a quarter of a second of his team mate thanks to his best morning lap. “There is always a better lap there but I think we’re really, really strong,” said Sutton. Meanwhile, Richard Plant (Team Parker Racing) was right in contention in fourth slot ahead of his first race at the Corby track. “I wasn’t expecting that for my first time here,” said Plant. “I can’t ask for more than to be up where I am,” he added.Title contender Stephen Jelley (Parker with Juta) was fifth from Gelzinis, Sam Tordoff (Team Parker Racing), Ben Hetherington (Oman Air/Redline) and Kieran Vernon (Nationwide/Motorbase). Gelzinis had a useful margin of four-tenths of a second over his category rivals Rory Butcher (Celtic Speed) and Ahmad Al Harthy (Oman Air/Redline), with Butcher showing excellent form ahead of his Rockingham debut.In Pro-Am2 Ozbek had strong pace to head the field, but only by a tenth of a second from his Redline Racing team mate Keith Webster. “I improved a little bit from this morning,” said the Turkish racer. “I did some changes in the car and in my mind,” he added. Preparing for his first race at Rockingham, Webster was pleased with progress. “The car feels absolutely brilliant; but the wall at Turn One is a bit distracting!” Points’ leader George Brewster (Celtic Speed) narrowly took third in Pro-Am2 from Steve Parish (Motorbase Performance).
