+ Martin and Mitchell beat Collard and Cook to GT3 victory
+ Optimum’s title-winning McLaren victorious in GT4
+ Howard, Wood, Hopkinson and George seal class titles; 2 Seas and Optimum win teams’
+ Provisional Result: #DoningtonDecider
Charles Dawson, Kiern Jewiss, Marc Warren and Jack Brown survived a turbulent #DoningtonDecider to claim the 2025 British GT3 and GT4 championships.
Barwell’s Lamborghinis scored a dominant one-two at the head of the field to effectively seal the GT3 drivers’ crown for 2 Seas’ leading duo whose three rivals were never in contention to take the victory they required.
Alex Martin and Sandy Mitchell scored their first win of the season by a commanding 31 seconds from team-mates Rob Collard and Hugo Cook, but that wasn’t enough to overturn 2 Seas’ significant advantage in the teams’ championship. Indeed, Kevin Tse and Maximilian Götz completed the overall podium to also finish third in the final drivers’ standings behind Cook who rose from fifth to second in the final reckoning.
GT4 was more straightforward to some degree, but Brown only made absolutely sure of the title on the penultimate lap when he relieved Mahiki’s Ginetta of the lead. At that stage he and Warren’s main rivals, Ravi Ramyead and Charlie Robertson, were just one place behind and closing in fast. Had they overtaken, the championship would have swung in Century’s favour.
Instead, third turned to fourth in the closing stages when Robertson and Luca Hopkinson engaged in a thrilling fight for the final podium place. It ultimately went the way of Optimum’s McLaren that also featured Harry George by just 0.026s.
Optimum’s one-three helped it to retain GT4’s teams’ crown, while Hopkinson and George completed the squad’s clean sweep by winning the Silver class title.
Beechdean’s Andrew Howard and Tom Wood also wrapped up the GT3 Silver-Am championship by finishing first in class and sixth overall.
