Two AMR Vantage GT4 crews share the class spoils in a weather affected GT Cup meeting at Snetterton

For the third round of the GT Cup Champiosnhip it was the turn of both Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 powered crews to shine even if the great orb in the sky wasn’t so forthcoming for the four scheduled races at Snetterton this weekend.

Despite what the provisional entry list may have suggested, there were just the #82 Feathers Motorsport AMR of Archie Clark and Tom Canning as well as the #95 Oselli Motorsport AMR Vantage GT4 Evo of Matt Eddolls and Sam Maher-Loughnan amongst the sixteen strong multi-class grid.


Despite the periodic torrential rains sweeping across East Anglia, the race meeting went on according to schedule although the vast differences on track between the dry spells and that of torrential rain did prove itself to be a timing issue for many crews as to when to make that tyre swap.

Saturdays opening twenty-five-minute sprint race saw the young Clark continue his rich vein of form with another P3 in class finish whilst Eddolls came home with a P4 finish at the beginning of his new Evo car’s second race meeting. As the #82 car struggled with success penalties as well as a post-race five second time penalty for track limits) with the later fifty-minute endurance round, it was the turn of the #95 Oselli car to come home on the podium with a P10 overall/P2 in GTH finish with the #82 crew having to make do with P4 in class.

Sunday finally saw most of the inclement weather fronts pass the circuit by although showers were still a possibility in the blustery conditions for the reversal of the endurance and sprint race format for the day.


The opening 50-minute race this time saw both AMR’s finish on the class podium with the #95 car again pipping the #82 crew (who had to serve a quick stop and go penalty for timing issues with their stop) with their P11 overall / P2 class finish before Clark made amends to that winning the closing sprint race with Eddolls this time making up the final step of the podium in P3.

These results see the Feathers Motorsport crew toppled from their prior top position within the Overall Drivers Championship (falling to fourth), but they do retain a commanding lead within their GTH Class as the championship moves onto Silverstone at the beginning of August.
