JESSICA HAWKINS Takes Fifth at Donington Despite Penalty

September 8, 2026

• JESSICA HAWKINS navigated treacherous wet-to-dry conditions at Donington, staying out on wets strategically while rivals gambled on slicks early, before handing off to Orton from third in GT4 Silver during the mandatory driver change window.
• ORTON’s recovery drive from fifth after the driver change was derailed by a pit-lane speeding penalty on lap 41, costing crucial seconds as he fought back through the GT4 Silver field on slick tyres.
• The fifth-place Silver finish drops HAWKINS and Orton to third in standings with 121 points—just five back of leaders—heading into Brands Hatch finale where they’ll run penalty-free for the first time this season after earlier podiums at Silverstone, Oulton Park, Spa, and double Snetterton.
