Richard Westbrook was again the man to beat in round five of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB at Brands Hatch on Saturday. Westbrook (Red Line Racing) fought ahead of early leader Damien Faulkner (Team Parker Racing) to score his fifth win in five races in a race that was shortened after Tim Harvey (Team RPM) crashed out of the race after contact with Jason Templeman (Team Parker Racing).The opening laps of the race provided a superb spectacle as the leading four cars ran nose to tail in a mighty battle. Faulkner just got the better start from the outside of the front row to nose ahead of Westbrook on the sprint to the first corner. Harvey slotted into third with Templeman fourth.“The first lap or two wasn’t too bad, but the car went off very, very quickly and it was difficult to keep Richard behind me,” explained Faulkner. Into Clearways for the eighth time, Westbrook saw his chance and dived through on the inside to take the lead. “I didn’t panic too much and was patient,” confirmed Westbrook. “I could see he was struggling into Clearways.”Once ahead, Westbrook was able to steadily build his lead as Faulkner now had his hands full of Harvey and Templeman. Whilst trying to attack Faulkner, Harvey also had to defend from Templeman. Into Paddock for the 19th time, Templeman saw a gap on the inside line and ran side-by-side through Paddock Hill Bend with Harvey. However, as the foot of the hill, the cars touched and Harvey spun heavily into the tyre barrier on the inside of the circuit and, with his car abandoned on the track, the race was halted.Up front, Westbrook had strengthened his grip on the title race with his fifth win. With Harvey removed from the results as the cause of the red flag, Jason Young (Red Line Racing) moved up to fourth after a mighty battle with first Alex Mortimer (Team RPM) and then Stephen Shanly (Red Line Racing).However, Mortimer hit ABS dramas and spun at Clearways, while Shanly was forced to retire with gear linkage problems. Nigel Rice (Red Line Racing) had run a strong fifth for much of the race, but was penalised 10 seconds for a false start and dropped to ninth. All of that left the battling team mates Andy Britnell and Sam Edwards to take fifth and sixth for Motorbase Performance. Into seventh, went Susie Stoddart after an excellent performance in the Porsche Cars with Team Autosport entry as Mortimer took eighth.Provisional results (18 laps):1 Richard Westbrook (Red Line Racing)            14m41.816s2 Damien Faulkner (Team Parker Racing)          14m45.264s3 Jason Templeman (Team Parker Racing)         14m45.727s4 Jason Young (Red Line Racing)                      14m56.981s5 Andy Britnell (Motorbase Performance)          15m02.536s6 Sam Edwards (Motorbase Performance)         15m02.708s7 Susie Stoddart (Porsche Cars Team Autosport)          15m05.709s8 Alex Mortimer (Team RPM)                           15m07.264s9 Nigel Rice (Red Line Racing)                           15m07.837s10 David Ashburn (Track Speed)                       15m22.687s
