MOTORSPORT – Bahraini-British GT team 2 Seas Motorsport are set to hit the track today and tomorrow in the eighth and penultimate round of the 2025 British GT Championship.
The meeting is taking place at Brands Hatch circuit in the UK.
2 Seas are competing with their two crews of Charles Dawson and Kiern Jewiss in their #42 Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo and teammates Kevin Tse and Maximillian Goetz in 2 Seas’ #18 contender.
They are set to spearhead a 21-car field, including 13 in the GT3 class, that will be gunning for the win in the race weekend’s lone two-hour race tomorrow, scheduled for a 3pm start, Bahrain time.
A free practice will be held today starting at 11.25am, to be followed by pre-qualifying at 1.50pm and then qualifying at 5.55pm to determine the starting grid. All times are Bahrain.
Both 2 Seas pairings have so far won two races apiece this campaign, putting the squad in first place on the GT3 Teams’ Championship standings and their two tandems in first and second in the GT3 Drivers’ Championship fight – with just two events remaining.
2 Seas have a total of 228 points in the teams’ rankings, where they are ahead of current second-placers Barwell Motorsport who are on 194.5 points. Blackthorn are third with 109 points.
In the drivers’ standings, Dawson and Jewiss are first with 118 points – just eight ahead of Tse and Goetz.
Blackthorn’s Giacomo Petrobelli and Jonny Adam are third a further point back, while tied-fourth with 100 points apiece are Optimum Motorsport duo Morgan Tillbrook and Marvin Kirchhoefer along with Barwell’s Alex Martin.
Earlier this season, Dawson and Jewiss won the opening race of 2025 at Donington Park in April and then also won in round six at Snetterton Circuit last month.
Tse and Goetz, on the other hand, triumphed in round four at Oulton Park in May before also taking a victory at Snetterton in round seven, completing a 2 Seas double in the meet.
The eight-point difference between the 2 Seas crews means that Dawson and Jewiss must win tomorrow – something no Mercedes-AMG has ever achieved outright at Brands Hatch – for a chance to become the first drivers since 2010 to be crowned GT3 drivers’ champions before the finale.
But that also depends on Tse and Goetz finishing eighth or lower, while Petrobelli and Adam can be classified no higher than seventh.
Following this weekend’s events, the 2025 British GT Championship heads for its ninth and final round, again at Donington Park, on October 4 and 5.
2 Seas are competing this British GT campaign hoping to repeat their title-winning success in the GT3 teams’ championship from 2023.
They enjoyed a solid campaign last year, which saw them claim two race wins and a pole position.
