Comline Richardson Racing and title partner Comline Auto Parts celebrated a maiden Porsche Carrera Cup GB victory after a sensational drive by Will Martin in the opening race at Brands Hatch.

Comline Richardson Racing was looking to build on its performance from the opening event of the season at Donington Park, where both Will and team-mate, Jack Bartholomew, had to settle for a top-10 finish apiece during rounds one and two, and did so in exceptional style with both drivers finding their way onto the winner’s podium.

The pace in the Comline-liveried cars was evident from the opening laps of the weekend with the the #10 Comline Richardson Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup qualifying on pole. Will took the first rain effected race with Jack placed third. Race two of the Brands Hatch weekend saw the rain intensify further, and although Will couldn’t quite secure back-to-back victories, he did record a second-place finish to take his place on the podium once again. Jack completed his weekend by placing eighth, a creditable performance in just his fourth competitive start in the series.  

Comline Ireland General Manager, Damien Larkin, said, “The weekend was a phenomenal success for the Comline Richardson Racing Team and for the Comline brand as a whole. Watching these two talented young drivers battle it out for honours in their Comline-branded race cars was both enthralling and nerve-racking in equal measure. With the season still in its early stages and 12 rounds left to race, everyone at Comline Ireland is excited to watch the team in action. Having had a taste of success at Brands Hatch, we are hopeful that there is more to come as the season progresses.”
