Round 8: Brands Hatch, 19 November

Craig Wilkins and Aaron Scott secured the inaugural MSA British Endurance Championship title at the Brands Hatch season finale, which was won by Owen O’Neill and Henry Fletcher.

Wilkins and Scott failed to finish the race after succumbing to a rare mechanical failure, but the duo had done enough over the course of the season to put them out of reach.

O’Neill and Fletcher took victory after a race-long battle with Jay Shepherd and Rod Barrett. A late safety car period and a minor piece of over-exuberance left the latter pair 13 seconds adrift at the chequered flag.
