Oxfordshire driver Tim Harvey said how happy he was after securing the Porsche Carrera Cup GB title in the penultimate race of the season at Brands Hatch.

Harvey drove a decisive race coming in second, but creating an unbeatable lead ahead of the final race.

Afterwards, Harvey (pictured) said: “This is the culmination of so many people’s hard work: the team, the sponsors and everyone who has supported me this season and I can’t thank them enough.

“I am absolutely delighted and it is our best ever year in the Carrera Cup with more wins than any other team.

“Winning is the justification of all the effort you put in throughout the year, on and off the circuit, and it really has been a fantastic team, sponsor and driver combination!”

Harvey has been sponsored by Nationwide Accident Repair Services since 2007 and Michael Wilmshurst, chief executive for Nationwide, was thrilled with Harvey’s success.

He said: “We have had a superb season this year and we are very proud of his success. I would like to congratulate Tim.

“He has led the championship from the start and has demonstrated why he really is one of the best drivers in the UK.”
