Michael Caine, sponsored by Team Antistat, scored a dramatic victory at Brands Hatch today (Saturday 29 March) in round one of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB. In a race full of incident, Caine scored his first Carrera Cup victory after a fierce battle with Andy Britnell.
Caine got a superb start to lead into Paddock Hill Bend, having dived ahead of poleman Tim Bridgman, his Team Parker Racing team mate. Unfortunately, Bridgman and Hancock then made contact and spun into the gravel and out of the race. Meanwhile, Britnell made a fine start and used the grip from his treaded tyres to dive through to second place from Tim Harvey (Red Line Racing).
After a safety car period while the cars of Bridgman and Hancock were moved, Caine resumed in the lead but was driving on a knife-edge on slicks in incredibly difficult conditions as Britnell challenged constantly. It was only after the race that Caine realised that he'd been battling with his friend and former team mate.

Team Antistat on the Road to Victory
All four Porsche Carrera Cup GB titles will be settled in a thrilling season finale at Brands Hatch the weekend (September 20/21), and for the overall crown it is now a straight battle between Tim Harvey and Michael Caine
After 18 races and over 400 racing laps, just seven points split Harvey (Red Line Racing) and Caine (Team Parker Racing sponsored by ANT Group) in what has been an enthralling battle for the 2008 crown. A sensational drive from Harvey in the last round at Silverstone has given him a seven-point lead, but both drivers know that, with 43 points on offer at Brands, it could go either way.
