16.07.07 RPM rocks brands with double victory Bradley Ellis and teammate Alex Mortimer clinched a double Avon Tyres British GT Championship win this weekend at Brands hatch and now the pair who started the weekend lying fifth in the championship but walk away leading the series. In the process, the lights-to-flag win on Saturday earned the Team RPM pair a small place in motorsport history by clinching Dodge's first British GT3 victory and the second win on Sunday confirmed them as the only team to win two races this season and delivered Ellis and Mortimer's first ever double victory at one event. In the process the other RPM cars were fairing well, the Porsche of Foster and Redwood scored points in both rounds and the in the second race they started from the back of the grid after a red flag infringement in qualification. The race on Saturday actually saw Redwood hunting down the lead viper in second and for a short while lead the race whilst the pit stops sorted themselves out. Griffin and Bamford were having a up and down weekend in the process of setting fastest times and spending time in gravel traps they didn't finish the second race on Sunday but did manage to get up into the pack for the Saturday event. The second viper of Fletcher and Saggers had an eventful weekend qualifying in their best position for race 1 and took a bit of a set back for race 2. Though a 10th place was awarded for their hard work on Saturday an altercation with an Aston Martin prevented them from finishing in 12th on Sunday. Though RPM scored some impressive landmarks this weekend, although taking Dodges first win, they also managed to get all four of their cars within the top 10 on Saturdays race, and with Silverstone now fast approaching and the media day test there seeing the viper top the time sheets the RPM team are now in the hunt. << back to news
