The entry list for the Brands hatch Grand Prix circuit rounds had expanded on the already impressive 33 cars that competed in the opening rounds at Donington park three weeks ago. Jeff and his BMW M3 GTR were competing in the 8 car strong and highly competitive, GTA class in this multi marque multi class championship.
“ The weather was hot and sunny and the racing was hot and frenetic too. We got the car dialled into a good set up in free practice and much to the pleasure of team owner Geoff Steel I managed to pull out of the hat a fast qualifying time for the first race, and that set me up to be competitive all weekend. Absolutely delighted to pull off three second place finishes in what is already proving to be an ultra competitive class once again “ comments Jeff.
After 6 races of the 20 race long season, Jeff is sitting in joint second place alongside fellow BMW M3 entrant Mark Litherland just 2 points behind the Lotus Evora of Adrian Lester
