British GT Championship Welsh debutant Seb Morris secured a richly deserved podium finish on his first ever outing in endurance competition at Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit on Sunday, during an incident-packed opening round of the 2016 season at the Kent track.
Making a sizeable impact from the outset along with team-mate Rick Parfitt Jnr, the duo steered their No.31 Bentley Continental GT3 to a famous – and very dominant – pole position in qualifying before finishing the shortened contest in second position, having led the opening half of the race, to get the year off to a fantastic start.
Another racer’s crash in the race meant it was run under yellow flags for many laps and then the Bentley GT was stuck in their pit by another car blocking the exit.
“It would have been nice to win but I’m not disappointed to be honest”, said 20-year-old Marford, Wrexham racer Seb,“If someone had said before the season we’d have taken pole and had a podium on the first weekend, I would’ve taken that.
“I’m very impressed with the team, the guys at Parker have done a fantastic job, and the way they work with Bentley is so professional – the will to win is amazing. I’m really pleased to have my first podium in over a year, it’s nice to go home with some silverware again!”
