Making an impressive Carrera Cup debut was local racer Jake Hill, who took fourth overall on both grids.In warm sunshine, the latest Type-991 911 GT3 Cup made a stunning spectacle around the Brands Hatch Indy circuit as Meadows set the mark for Samsung UHD TV Racing. However, guest racer Barker (Parr Motorsport) ran him close as Carrera Cup Scholarship racer Webster showed fine pace to take two third places ahead of his championship debut.Leonard ran up among the Pro drivers to set a fine Pro-Am1 pace from team mate Justin Sherwood, while Goff had a strong session to head Pro-Am2. However, Steve Liquorish (Team Parker Racing) and Peter Kyle-Henney (Parr Motorsport) were right with Goff ahead of what promises to be some great battling in Sunday’s two races.Michael Meadows (Samsung UHD TV Racing) fastest overall:“That was better than testing yesterday. The first tyre run wasn’t so good with the red flag as I was going to do two or three more laps. It’s really good having Ben here as a benchmark as he knows the Type-991 from the Porsche Supercup.”Ben Barker (Parr Motorsport) second overall:“I hoped for something better, but I’ve never been that great here. I’m getting used to the new tyres and I can race from second on the grid. Congratulations to Michael: he’s a very good qualifier and always hard to beat.”Jake Hill (In2 Racing) fourth overall:“I’m chuffed to bits: really, really pleased. That’s exactly where I wanted to be and if I can hold fourth in the races that will be a great start.”Karl Leonard (Team Parker Racing) fastest in Pro-Am1:“I lost my best lap after running wide at Graham Hill Bend. Then I was a tenth up and had a spin, so a 46.3s is in there. I’m very happy with that.”Will Goff (In2 Racing) fastest in Pro-Am2:“It’s close this year, which is really good. It takes a while for the tyres to come in and I was pleased to stay on the back of Paul Rees during the session.”Round 1 grid:Pro category: 1 Michael Meadows 46.022s; 2 Ben Barker 46.209s; 3 Josh Webster 46.307s.Pro-Am1 category: 1 Karl Leonard 46.617s; 2 Justin Sherwood 47.117s; 3 Kieran Gallagher 48.221s.
