their championship, resulting in
a double victory for the Aston
Martin brand within the GT4
category.
Speaking after the race,
Martin said: “We came into the
weekend with both everything
to lose and everything to gain,
so today’s approach was about
getting the job done correctly
and making sure we went past
the 70 per cent race distance
mark in order to score the points
we needed.
“I am, of course, delighted
with the Championship win
and, now it’s over, am looking
forward to tonight’s celebrations.
Driving with Kelvin this season
with the Beechdean AMR team
has been fantastic and today’s
TAKING TOP HONOURS
ON THE PODIUM
result is testament to that. I’d like to thank all of our
sponsors for their wonderful support and we look
forward to working together again next season.”
Kelvin added: “It was such a relief to hand the car
over first in class; for the last six laps my tyres were
rapidly dying on me and all I wanted to do was bring
it home. Like Martin, I was completely focused on
a clean and safe race to secure the Championship
so was perhaps more conservative than I have been
at other races this season. But it paid off because we
won! I couldn’t be happier and what a wonderful
journey it’s been! Sincere thanks to everyone who has
made it happen, particularly Imagine Cruising for
their unfailing support at all the races and with all
the fans. Until 2020…!”
