Aiden Moffat Wins Brands Hatch GP Qualifying Race

The lights-to-flag victory strengthens Power Maxed Racing's bid for the Independent Teams trophy.

Overview

  • Moffat converted pole into a lights-to-flag win on Saturday, finishing ahead of Tom Ingram and Josh Cook to claim the 10-lap Qualifying Race.
  • He earned pole by setting the fastest time in Group 2 during the event's split qualifying system, which places the faster group in odd-numbered grid slots and the other group in even positions ordered by time.
  • Ashley Sutton received a five-second penalty for track-limits breaches late in the race and was relegated to 11th, a change that removed him from the top ten and reshaped finishing positions.
  • Ricky Collard made a strong start but then slid into the gravel at Paddock Hill Bend on lap three, dropping positions and altering the mid-pack battles for places.
  • The result gives Power Maxed Racing momentum to secure the Independent Teams crown and improves Moffat’s outside chance in the Independents’ Trophy while also finalising the starting grid for Sunday’s opening race.
