Porsche Sprint Challenge GB travelled to Brands Hatch in Kent for its second weekend of the 2025 season, taking to the shorter 1.2-mile Indy circuit for the first time as part of the TOCA package. Tom Bradshaw (Toro Verde GT) from Bolton in Greater Manchester won the opening race of the weekend, while Toby Trice (Clean Racing) from Deal in Kent claimed the second and third races at his home circuit to further extend his championship lead.

Meanwhile Oliver Meadows (Team Parker Racing) from Marston in Warwickshire drove to an RS Am victory on Saturday, and Matthew Kyle-Henney (Clean Racing) from Winchester in Hampshire took the category spoils in Sunday’s two races. Lydia Walmsley (Graves Motorsport) from Kesgrave in Suffolk, and Jonathan Moore (Toro Verde GT) from Barnsley in South Yorkshire, shared wins in Clubsport Pro. In Clubsport Am there were celebrations for Paul Porter (Team Parker Racing) from Bothamsall in Nottinghamshire, and Hannah Chapman (Xentek Motorsport) from Dunfirmline in Fife.

Bradshaw wins one as Trice takes two in RS Pro
Qualifying was a very closely contested affair, Bradshaw emerged ahead to take the first pole position of the Brands Hatch weekend, meanwhile Trice secured the top spot for the second race. Bradshaw got away cleanly at the start of Round Four as Trice slotted in behind him, while Ben Mulryan (Toro Verde GT) from London maintained third. The race was neutralised on lap two when the Safety Car was scrambled, but the action restarted with 15 minutes remaining on the clock.

Bradshaw gradually increased his lead to the chasing Trice, meanwhile there was close racing between Samuel Harvey (Xentek Motorsport) from Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands and Joe Marshall (Team Parker Racing) from Crewe in Cheshire. Marshall grabbed fifth at Surtees and Harvey was briefly delayed. In the closing stages of the race, a recovering Harvey mounted an attack on Oliver Cottam (Duckhams Yuasa Racing by Graves Motorsport) from Bridgnorth in Shropshire for eighth, and in the dying moments Harvey found a way through. Back at the front of the race, Bradshaw took victory, joined on the overall podium by Trice and Mulryan.

Trice got away cleanly at the start of the weekend’s second race which took place on Sunday afternoon in hot conditions. Bradshaw remained second while Jacob Tofts (Duckhams Yuasa Racing by Graves Motorsport) from Hatfield Heath in Essex stayed in third. In a repeat of the first race, the Safety Car soon arrived which paused the race. The green flag was shown with 10 minutes remaining on the clock. Trice initially pulled clear but later Bradshaw closed, however he could not mount a challenge for the lead. On the final two laps, Mulryan attacked Ethan Hammerton (Graves Motorsport) from Northallerton in North Yorkshire for sixth overall, however, there was no change of position – across the finish line they were separated by just 0.025 seconds. Trice enjoyed his third win of the season with Bradshaw and Tofts joining him on the overall podium.

Trice started from pole position for the final race of the weekend, and he led Bradshaw into the first corner. Just behind, Marshall overtook Tofts for third at Graham Hill and successfully defended his new position. As Trice pulled clear at the front of the race Harvey fell backwards as he was passed by RS Am driver Reece Somerfield (Breakell Racing) from Pelsall in the West Midlands. Meanwhile Dan Zelos (Graves Motorsport) from Dereham in Norfolk kept a watching brief just behind.

There was more close racing between Mulryan and Hammerton in their battle for sixth overall, and shortly afterwards a developing dice between Harvey, Zelos and Somerfield was resolved when Zelos overtook Somerfield. The gap between Trice and Bradshaw ebbed and flowed as the leaders lapped traffic, but Trice stayed ahead to take his second win of the day, extending his championship advantage. The local racer was joined on the overall podium by Bradshaw and Marshall.

Kyle-Henney and Meadows are top in RS Am
Kyle-Henney took category pole position for the weekend’s first and second races, however he was involved in an incident early into Round Four, this saw him make his retirement alongside Somerfield and RS Pro category racer Zelos. When the race restarted, Meadows was the category leader with Daniel Lewis (Race Car Consultants) from Basildon in Essex running in second, and Karim Sekkat (Breakell Racing) from Oxford in third. Sekkat later found himself battling with Lewis, and RS Pro drivers Harvey and Cottam, but the category order remained the same. At the flag, Meadows took the second RS Am victory of his Porsche racing career, while Lewis and Sekkat joined him in the podium celebrations.

Having worked hard to repair his car overnight from damage sustained in Round Three, Clean Racing’s Kyle-Henney started ahead in RS Am for Round Four. At the start of the race, Kyle-Henney led Somerfield from Meadows until the Safety Car interrupted proceedings. Following the restart Meadows engaged in a scrap with RS Pro category driver Cottam, and with seven minutes of the race remaining he got ahead. In the closing stages, Sekkat suffered a spin on the Cooper Straight before continuing his race. Kyle-Henney was clear to take category victory, with Somerfield second and Meadows coming home in third.

Kyle-Henney led Somerfield from Meadows at the start of the weekend’s final race, and Somerfield also became engaged in a scrap with RS Pro category drivers Harvey and Zelos for eighth. Somerfield initially moved forward before a penalty for track limits relegated him down the order on corrected time. Sekkat was also in trouble when he suffered a spin at Graham Hill. However, attention soon turned to RS Am leader Kyle-Henney as he took the chequered flag for a second category win of the weekend. Meadows finished second while Aimee Watts (Clean Racing) from Marden in Kent made a maiden appearance on the category podium.

Walmsley and Moore win in Clubsport Pro
Moore qualified ahead of his category rivals for the weekend’s opening race, while Jason Baker (Tuthill UK) from Bristol was the pacesetter for the second grid. Moore was the Clubsport Pro category leader before and after the Safety Car period which interrupted Round Four, just behind an exciting battle between Walmsley and Baker developed. After the restart, Walmsley challenged Baker for much of the race, and she finally made a move stick through Paddock Hill and Druids. However, a dominant Moore took the chequered flag first to take victory over Walmsley in second and Baker in third.

Baker led Moore and Walmsley at the start of the weekend’s second race but, when Moore dived to the inside of Baker at Druids, there was contact which beached Baker in the gravel trap. This called the Safety Car into action. Following the restart, a recovering Moore set after Walmsley for the category lead. Moore closed but when he ran slightly wide at Clearways Walmsley was finally given some breathing space. Walmsley took the chequered flag to secure the first category win of her Porsche racing career, and Moore finished in second.

Moore snatched the category lead from Walmsley at the start of Round Six, while Baker slotted into third. Moore edged clear of Walmsley building a cushion back to his rival, and as result the order stayed the same to the flag. Moore recorded his second win in Kent, with Walmsley taking finishing in second and Baker completing the Clubsport Pro category podium.

Porter and Chapman victorious in Clubsport Am
Porter started from category pole position for the first race at Brands Hatch, and Katia Loggie (Toro Verde GT) from Aberdeen claimed the top spot for the second encounter. Porter led at the start of the weekend’s opening race with Loggie running in second and Chapman in third. Chapman began to close on Loggie but she could not make a move stick. Porter maintained a leading margin to secure category victory, Loggie stayed in second while Chapman completed the podium. Following the race, Loggie was handed a time penalty for contact with Chapman which reversed their podium result, with Chapman now second and Loggie relegated to third.

The Safety Car was mobilised soon into the second race at Brands Hatch. After the action was restarted Loggie found herself leading Porter from Chapman, however, Chapman quickly overtook Porter for second in the category fight. The trio closed up and it was Chapman who would break the deadlock. She made a move at Paddock Hill in the final few minutes of racing but, in the run up to Druids, Loggie took a trip through the gravel trap which allowed Porter and local racer Alister Weston (Graves Motorsport) from Medway to get ahead. Porter, Weston and Loggie formed the category podium.

Porter was ahead again at the start of Round Six, with Chapman running in second and Loggie in third. With 12 minutes remaining of the 20-minute race, Porter took a trip through the gravel trap at Paddock Hill which promoted Chapman to the category lead and Loggie to second, while Porter continued in third. In the latter stages of the race, Porter advanced to second. As a result, the final podium of the day was created by Chapman, Porter and Loggie in that order.
