Mixed weather and a great battle! Brands Hatch 24th - 25th May 2014

The mixed weather and challenging racing conditions made for an interesting Bank Holiday weekend at the Brands Hatch Circuit. Denis Welch Motorsport supported two teams in the Gentlemen Drivers Pre-66 GT Races - Galal Mahmoud/Nigel Greensall in the Jaguar E-type and Nils-Fredrik Nyblaeus with Jeremy Welch in the Austin-Healey 3000.

The Friday coaching session on the smaller Indy circuit promised an exciting battle. Nils-Fredrik Nyblaeus, after great progression during the sessions, started qualifying in the wet, cloudy weather to pass the Healey over to Jeremy Welch
Team Nyblaeus/Welch battled to 3rd position in the class and 17th overall, setting the fastest lap time of 1:49.472 in class in the first of two 40-minute races.

Nigel Greensall with Galal Mahmoud qualified 7th. Greensall, fought his way up to the lead in the wet weather conditions and with the adrenaline levels rising, his professional driving skills and ‘tricks’ allowed him to do this - watch the Nigel Greensal's video >>.
Galal Mahmoud took over in the Jag to finish in an incredible 5th place!
In the second Gentlemen Drivers race on Sunday, Nils-Fredrick Nybleaus on the dry track and with more coaching, performed well and battled against crowds of cars on the full GP circuit, unfortunately when Jeremy took over, after a short time he had to pull out of the race because of a technical problem with the Healey.
Nigel Greensall in the Jaguar E-Type handed the car over in 4th place to Galal who come home 7th overall to achieve a credible 6th place in a combined classification.

Brands Hatch was a great and an exciting race meeting with crowds of motor racing fans.
