Carrera Cup GB starts 2nd half at Snetterton August 7th & 8th – Harbour Cars

After a seven-week mid-season break, the Porsche Carrera Cup GB roars back into action this weekend (7/8 August) for rounds 11 and 12 at the Snetterton circuit in Norfolk.

With nine wins from 10 races to date, Tim Harvey (Red Line Racing) is riding high and will take a 39-point overall lead to the East Anglian track. However, Harbour Cars Driver Michael Caine – racing at his home track – is one of the drivers determined to bring Harvey’s winning run to an end. Meanwhile, the Team Parker Racing trio of Glynn Geddie, Euan Hankey and Stephen Jelley are all potential race winners.

Despite his commanding lead, Harvey says that he is going to keep pushing for more wins. “The safest place to be is at the front,” said Harvey. “So I’m just going to keep going on the same basis as I have for the first half of the season – to approach every session and every race trying to be in front.”

However, Caine (Motorbase Performance) is determined to stop Harvey winning again. “I love Snetterton,” said Newmarket-based Caine. “We will have an awful lot of guests at Snetterton, because it is local to me and everyone who has helped me, past, present and future, will be there.”

Despite being his home track, Snetterton has not been great for Caine in recent seasons. “There are two circuits I love; Snetterton and Oulton Park. For the past few years they have been an absolute disaster for me, so I’m just hoping that Snetterton this year will be good.”

Carrera Cup qualifying is on Saturday at 14.45, with the first race at 9.10 on Sunday and the second race at 15.00. The second race is due to be shown live on ITV4 in the extensive BTCC race day programme, which starts at 11.30am.
