Wylie set the fifth fastest time in official testing last Wednesday in his Bell Group Porsche – the first time the Scotsman had driven his Valluga Racing Carrera – and then claimed seventh place in qualifying.

In Race 1, Ross was thwarted in making progress when nine of the 17-lap race was run under Safety Car conditions, Wylie finishing seventh, less than three seconds behind the winner around the 1.64-mile “National” circuit. In the second race, Ross moved up a place to sixth on the 11th lap of the 28-lap race. Last weekend marked a return to the one-make series for Wylie in which he finished seventh in the 2020 series.

Wylie now focuses on the final rounds of the GT Cup at Snetterton this weekend (2-3 Oct). Ross and co-driver Paul Bailey lead the GTO category by 33-points after scoring five class wins – and eighth overall. Wylie and Bailey will drive the latter’s McLaren MP4-12C Can Am as at the previous Donington event.
