Overview
- Simon Orange and Marcus Clutton secured the 2026 British GT drivers’ title with victory in the Brands Hatch two‑hour finale after Rob Collard spun into the Sheene Curve gravel and dropped from the lead.
- Collutton, who had stepped away briefly before his stint, learned of the decisive off‑track moment only on his return and then preserved a 17‑second race lead to the chequered flag.
- Rob Collard said the car lost its anti‑lock braking system after the off and Barwell Racing and the drivers are investigating whether that reported ABS loss contributed to the spin.
- Barwell Racing still claimed the GT3 teams’ championship and class prizes were confirmed with Grange Racing’s Darren Turner and Daniel Lavery winning the GT4 title.
- The result underlines how Pro/Am driver dynamics, season pit‑time penalties and fine margins in the closing hour can flip championship outcomes and reshape careers for drivers and teams.
