Mikey Hardie and Brodie Gawith both celebrated victory at Brands Hatch.
Australia’s Gawith was first to stand on the top step of the podium earlier this afternoon, following a dramatic last lap. Taking the lead at the start, Gawith led for much of the 10 lap race but came under a little pressure on the final lap.
However, despite his rivals’ best efforts to find a way past, Gawith fought back and despite dropping to second, he forced his way back past and into the lead, taking the win by 0.084secs.
Kalvin Kelly was next Rookie home in fifth, with Chloe Jones sixth and Henry Snell seventh. Darragh O’Mahony was 14th, with Charlotte Marcuzzo, Floris Schipper and Jay Yeldham 18th, 19th and 20th respectively.
Next up it was the turn of the Quattro Group British Supersport & GP2/HEL Performance Rookies. Mikey Hardie had already dominated the weekend so far, topping the timesheets in every session before qualifying on pole.
And he continued his domination in style, as he powered to the Cup win several seconds ahead of the second-placed rider.
Behind, Joe Farragher had a good race, crossing the line seventh in the class. Unfortunately, Harry Cook was denied a result after crashing out on the final lap after a solid race.
The Superteens were back out for their second race of the weekend at 5pm and this time it was Kelly who got the best start from the front row and took the lead. But Gawith was on a charge and powered through from the third row to hit the front before the end of the first lap, as Kelly and Jones settled in behind.
In a hard-fought race where the top five stuck together all the way, Kelly eventually found himself in a tough scrap with another rider at the front, the lead swapping several times between them.
Soon Gawith was back in front but he wasn’t able to make it a double as he lost out in the last lap scrap. Eventually, it was rival James Cook who took the win, as Kelly finished second and just 0.055secs behind in second, with Jones third, just 0.262secs adrift.
Gawith ended up fifth in the last lap melee, as Snell crossed the line eighth, O’Mahony 15th, Marcuzzo 18th, Schipper 19th and Yeldham 21st.
