• LYDIA WALMSLEY delivered a textbook defensive drive to claim her first Porsche Sprint Challenge Great Britain victory at Brands Hatch, inheriting the lead when championship leader Jonathan Moore and Jason Baker made contact at Druids corner. The Graves Motorsport driver then held off Moore’s relentless pressure for the remaining laps, managing lapped traffic expertly while maintaining a cool head under intense pursuit to win by nearly a full second.
• The victory caps an absolutely flawless start to WALMSLEY’s Porsche Sprint Challenge career – she’s now maintained a 100% podium record across five races between Donington Park and Brands Hatch. Her weekend included two additional runner-up finishes, proving this wasn’t a one-off performance but part of a consistent pattern of excellence that’s putting the CS Pro championship contenders on notice.
• What’s particularly impressive is how WALMSLEY maximized her opportunities while others stumbled – she capitalized on Moore and Baker’s contact in race two, then demonstrated the racecraft to hold position against a frustrated championship leader. Her pace management and strategic tire conservation during qualifying (completing the fewest laps in class) shows she’s thinking several moves ahead, not just driving fast.
