Euan Hankey completed a perfect weekend in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB at Rockingham today (Sunday 18 September) with his second race victory in the space of a little over three hours.In a race full of superb racing and fierce contests, Jonas Gelzinis completed a Pro-Am1 double and Yucel Ozbek took his second Pro-Am2 win of the day and his fighting performance earned the Turkish racer the ‘driver of the weekend’ award. Parker with Juta took the ‘team of the weekend’ award.Once again, Hankey (Parker with Juta) shot off the grid to lead the opening lap, but James Sutton (SAS/Redline) had a mighty first couple of corners to jump into second place from Stephen Jelley (Parker with Juta) and Michael Meadows (SAS/Redline). As Hankey and Sutton pulled clear, they ran neck and neck for much of the race and in late race lappery Sutton almost dived ahead. But Hankey drove another superb race and won by just three-tenths of a second after a nail-biting finish. “What a day,” said an elated Hankey. “Massive hats off to James; that’s probably one of the hardest races I’ve ever had.” Sutton had pressured Hankey right through the race. “All the work was done at the start,” said Sutton. “Euan drove a very smart race and it was always going to be difficult but I thought I might get him in the traffic.”As many as five cars ran in close formation for third as Jelley bagged the final podium position from Meadows, Gelzinis (Juta Racing), Richard Plant (Team Parker Racing) and Ben Hetherington (Oman Air/Redline). “That was better than the first race,” said title contender Jelley. “I’ve got to push hard at Brands,” he added of the penultimate weekend of the season. Meanwhile, Gelzinis completed a double win in Pro-Am1. “I’m happy to be in the top five overall,” said Gelzinis, who was always in touch with Meadows.For once, Derek Pierce (Dextra/JD Pierce by Parker) had a clear run to take second in Pro-Am1 from eighth overall as Ahmad Al Harthy (Oman Air/Redline) completed the Pro-Am1 podium. “A lonely race is a good race,” said Pierce, who has had his share of dramas in recent races. Motorbase Performance racers George Richardson and Daniele Perfetti took fourth and fifth as Perfetti had one of his best weekends to date in the Carrera Cup GB.The absorbing contest in Pro-Am2 was a highlight of the race and finally resulted in a second victory for Ozbek after he fought back from an early spin. “I was watching someone else spinning,” explained Ozbek of his indiscretion. With George Brewster (Celtic Speed) forced to pit twice with punctures and Keith Webster (Redline Racing) having to stop to have an advertising hoarding removed from the front of the car, it was guest racer Chris Dyer (Parr Motorsport) who grabbed the Pro-Am2 lead after keeping out of trouble in the early laps. But Steve Parish (Motorbase Performance) and the recovering Ozbek fought up ahead of Dyer and then Ozbek tigered ahead of Parish after a tremendous battle. When Dyer spun, Webster was able to take the final podium position. “It was a great battle with Steve; a very fair battle,” said Ozbek after a mighty drive. “Brilliant fun,” added Parish. “That’s what we do it for.”
