porsche Carrera Cup GB Round 7, silverstone

For the second race weekend in a row, Michael Caine and Tim Harvey shared the pole positions for rounds 13 and 14 of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB during qualifying at Silverstone today (Saturday 21 August).

While Harvey (Red Line Racing) and Caine (Motorbase Performance) each took an overall pole at the head of a superb 27-car field, Ollie Jackson (Addison Lee Motorbase) twice posted a top five overall time to head pro-am1 for both races. In pro-am2, Paul Mace (GT Marques) bagged an impressive double pole.

Although there was the threat of rain in the air as qualifying started, the session remained dry. Most of the best laps came early in the half-hour session, as the track seemed to loose pace as the session went out. In a fabulously close field, less than a second covered the first 14 cars on the grid for round 13 with Caine clinching pole by 86-hundredthds of a second from Harvey, with Michael Meadows (Red Line Racing) an excellent third fastest.
