Penalty Doesn't Deny Everett Win
Motorsport News|November 15,2017

Ian Everett overcame a 30-second penalty for previous winners to claim a thrilling Swinging Sixties race at Brands Hatch.

Penalty Doesn't Deny Everett Win

In very tricky conditions, he squeaked home despite losing 8s to Dan Williamson’s monstrous Chevrolet Corvette on the final lap when a fluffed gearchange locked his diminutive BMW 1502’s wheels.

Donington winner Williamson earlier handicapped himself by taking his own penalty twice, the first – incorrectly – in his own pit box. Wil Arif handed Dean Halsey the lead in their penalty-free Datsun 240Z but it slipped to sixth at the flag, with Richard Wilson’s MG completing the podium.

Swinging Sixties polesitter Richard Wheeler crashed his Lotus Elan on oil on the opening lap but made amends in the Tin Tops. Wheeler dropped to third at the start but made up ground to pit his Ford Fiesta in the lead. Co-driver Jake Hill emerged in second after serving a 30s winner’s penalty, but the British Touring Car racer clawed back over 20s to pass Danny Cassar – who was struggling with wet tyres on a drying track – in just six laps. The Reece Jones/Wayne Crabtree Honda Civic overhauled David and Tom Hutchins’ similar car for third.
