  Porsche Carrera Cup GB heads for Rockingham (11-9-09)  


The contests for all three drivers' titles in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB are going down to the wire as the championship moves to Rockingham for rounds 17 and 18 over the weekend of 19/20 September. Tim Harvey currently heads the overall title race, while Glynn Geddie tops pro-am1 and Robin Clark leads pro-am2, but all three battles are very finely balanced.
 
The overall title race is really now a three-way contest after a dramatic weekend last time out at Silverstone. Following round 16, Harvey (Red Line Racing), Tim Bridgman (Team Parker Racing) and James Sutton (Red Line Racing) are covered by only 14 points. While Harvey ended his race in the gravel and Bridgman was excluded over the contact that sent Harvey into the gravel, Sutton took the big profit with a commanding win.

Though he missed the first two races of the year, Sutton is now right in contention with Harvey and Bridgman, who have been battling from the very start of the season. With all scores to count, it really is all to play for, and should the top three hit more drama Michael Caine (Motorbase Performance) is still close enough to take advantage.

But it is not just the overall title race that will be the centre of attention at Rockingham. The pro-am1 battle has been an intriguing part of a superb season in the Carrera Cup and four drivers are still in the hunt going into the final four races. After a magnificent mid-season run, Geddie (Team Parker Racing) has taken the advantage, but earlier leader Robert Lawson (JHR) is far from out of this race.
 
Lawson knows that he must bring Geddie's run of success to a halt at Rockingham if he is to narrow the 11-point lead that the Scottish teenager has now established. Meanwhile, Tony Gilham (Red Line Racing) and Ollie Jackson (Motorbase Performance) are ready to pounce should Geddie and Lawson falter.
 
Meanwhile, the pro-am2 contest is also building towards a thrilling finish as year-long points' leader Clark (Parr Motorsport) comes under attack from Paul Hogarth (IN2Racing), Glenn McMenamin (Parr Motorsport) and Bob Lyons (Celtic Speed). With dropped scores now coming into play, Hogarth and McMenamin are the key players and they have had some mighty battles over recent races.
 
Round 17 of the Carrera Cup GB is scheduled for 4.10pm on Saturday after qualifying on Saturday morning. Round 18 will start at 1.15pm on Sunday and is due to be broadcast live on ITV4 during the afternoon's BTCC programme.
