Thiim Tops the times

British GT free practice 1 over, Nicki Thiim and Mark Farmer topped the times in an uninterrupted session.

Glorious conditions grace Donington Park, temperatures into the teens and very light cloud across the sky. All 41 cars were out on circuit to get their heads around the conditions for the weekend. A complete polar opposite of the conditions from two weeks ago at Silverstone.
Nicki Thiim had topped the times with a 1:27.975 around the Grand Prix circuit.
Adam Balon onboard the #72 Barwell ran second quickest in the session with a 1:28.244 just 0.3 seconds slower than Nicki Thiim.
Ian Loggie and Callum Macleod have continued their momentum from Silverstone and ran third quickest in the opening session of the weekend with a 1:28.502.

In GT4 the Scott Maxwell and Sea Priaulx Multimatic Mustang shows the field the real pace, a 1:36.144 topping the GT4 times followed up by another Mustang in the hands of Chris Hoy and Billy Johnson. Team Parker Racings Scott Malvern and Nick Jones ran third quickest in class just 0.072 back from the second placed Mustang with a 1:36.331

Team Parker Racings Bentley however didn’t seem up to pace in the morning session, setting times nearly four seconds off the pace of #2 TF sport’s times. Where as in GT4 it’s an all out dogfight for the quickest times. The top 13 cars in GT4 was all within 1 second of each other, with the second session coming up we’ll get real ideas of pace before we head into this afternoons qualifying sessions.
