British GT race 2: Mercedes victorious again at Snetterton

13 July 2025

2 Seas' Kevin Tse and Maximilian Götz overcame seven seconds of Compensation Time to triumph for the second year in succession at Snetterton, while Ravi Ramyead and Charlie Robertson bounced back from their Race 1 penalty to win the second 60-minute contest and reduce Optimum's GT4 championship lead.

Götz, starting from pole, was 6.4 seconds clear of Marvin Kirchhöfer when both pitted together. That should have given Optimum's McLaren a slight advantage, but it was the Mercedes-AMG that emerged just ahead before pulling clear.

Kirchhöfer's co-driver Morgan Tillbrook resisted Alex Martin until the final five minutes when Barwell's Lamborghini finally found a way past. His co-driver, Sandy Mitchell, had spent the first half of the race bottled up behind the same 720S that ultimately dropped to fourth behind Rob Collard and Hugo Cook's Barwell Lamborghini. Giacomo Petrobelli and Jonny Adam (Blackthorn) got ahead of the McLaren on the road, but a penalty for contact set them back to fifth.

Further back, Century's BMW took full advantage of its Compensation Time-free race to claim a dominant GT4 victory. Robertson never looked back after passing Jack Mitchell's Mahiki Ginetta on lap two before Ramyead completed the job after the pitstops.

Their championship hopes were also aided by Optimum's Marc Warren and Jack Brown serving a one-second stop-go penalty for a short pitstop as well as the maximum Compensation Time. Mahiki's Ian Duggan and Joe Wheeler finished second overall and third in Pro-Am, while Silver victory and third outright narrowly went the way of Century's Branden Templeton and Chris Salkeld.
