Bradley Gravett brought the curtain down on his third season in the Vertu Motors MINI CHALLENGE's headline class with a hat-trick of top-ten finishes at Brands Hatch, allowing him to cement a top-six championship finish for the first time. Bradley returned to his home circuit - the scene of his first career podium on the shorter Indy layout earlier in the year - looking to rebound from a challenging weekend at Silverstone in the previous event, where a broken gearstick in race one ultimately ended his hopes of running towards the front of the pack. A solid start to the...

After a challenging weekend at Silverstone that left Bradley reflecting on what could have been, Bradley and Gravett Racing are heading to Brands Hatch with renewed determination and a hunger for victory. Bradley is gearing up for the final round of the MINI Challenge JCW series and, despite recent setbacks, is feeling positive, open-minded, and ready to conquer the iconic GP circuit layout at Brands Hatch. The setback at Silverstone, where Bradley's gear stick snapped in the first race, leading to a disappointing DNF, was undoubtedly a tough pill to swallow. Starting the second race at the back of the...

So, yeah, that's it, the season's out, and I literally don't understand how quickly this year has raced by! I mean, and I know I've said this many times in the past, but Donington, round one of the championship back in April, felt like last week. But that aside, let's talk about Brands Hatch, the final round of the BTCC, which of course, is not only the championship-deciding weekend for the Touring Cars, but is also the grand finale for the MINI Challenge JCW Series, held on the world-famous GP circuit layout. For many reasons, the Brands Hatch GP race...

So Brands Hatch GP, the final round of the year is here, and well, I say this every season, but I just can't believe how quickly this year's flown by; I mean, it literally feels like last week we were gearing up for round one at Donington, and now it's almost all over, crazy! So as you know, Silverstone, last time out, wasn't our best of performances, I mean EXCELR8 Motorsport gave me an unbelievably fantastic car to drive from a chassis perspective, the best I've ever experienced in fact, but by the end of that weekend, I'd identified that...

So that's it, my first year of MINI Challenge JCW racing is complete, and wow, has it been an exciting season for the trio that's Gravett, Coates and Graves. So Brands Hatch GP, yep, it's incredible, and there's nothing more to say... okay, maybe there's a bit more, but I just thought that right off the bat, I'd start by saying it's an absolutely brilliant circuit and a real privilege and honour to have finally raced the famous long GP loop. Visiting any new circuit is always challenging, especially when you're up against many other drivers who have lapped that...

Well, here we are; it's the final round of the British Touring Car Championship and, therefore, the final round of the MINI Challenge JCW series. I can't believe how quickly this year has gone; as I said in my pre-Donington report, it only feels like yesterday we were gearing ourselves up and getting ready for that first round. It's been a crazy year that's just flown by; merry Christmas... well, it's starting to feel that way with what seems to be even earlier than usual Christmas TV Adverts! Anyway, baubles, lights, snow and Wham! aside; It's Brands Hatch GP weekend...
