Celebrating that winning feeling again!
Former BTCC race winner Gareth Howell celebrated that winning feeling again, as he shared a Geoff Steel Racing BMW GTR with Richard Marsh to clinch GTA honours at this last weekend’s GT Cup event @ Brands Hatch.
As #8 Gareth Howell said:
“It’s been great, as we’ve really been trying to get out there with a car that Richard has been building. We’re out there with Geoff [Steel], and I was pleased that we could come and take part as they know everything about that car. I really needed to get Richard out there for some laps as I’ve been helping him work on his technique, and the team have been brilliant. To come back from that shows what club racing is like – they don’t stop at all.”
And #8 Richard Marsh added:
“This is my first win at any level, let alone club level. My school days would have been the first time I won something and hadn’t won since! It’s been so hard; we’ve been working on the car and battling problems, because there’s no normal day in motorsport is there? It’s negative or absolutely epic, and we’ve had it negative for too long, so to finish this way is epic.”
Onwards and forwards chaps; the next GT Cup Championship action takes place at Donington Park over the weekend of 21/22 September and we’ll be there!!
