Bloody good effort from Racecar customer - Charles Bateman and team mate Matt Bell to take the race win points at Donington and end the season third overall in the British GT Championship. Wonder what would have happened if he had not been in the Mclaren at the start of the season..?
PR below:In a close fought race at the Donington round of the British GT Championship, where the Championship would be decided, United Autosports' McLaren MP4-12C GT3 driven by Charles Bateman & team mate Matt Bell came home with a 3rd place on the podium, also taking the race win points.Charles, having started tenth after a difficult qualifying session, fought his way into second place by lap 11. The Boston based racing driver said, The start went really well, and we had a good pace at the start. I managed to get past quite a few cars, then I was hit by a BMW but luckily there was no major damage. Considering where we started it was great result.After 38 laps Charles handed over to team mate Matt Bell who took the chequered flag at the end of the 2 hour race in third.The two cars ahead of the Pilgrim Foodservice sponsored McLaren were not Championship contenders enabling Charles and Matt to take the full race winning points and end the season third overall in the British GT Championship.
