Rymer comes second after switch to GT0 class


After racing in the Porsche GT2 car for the first two rounds of the Privilege Insurance British GT Championship, Mike Pickup, (team manager at PK Sport) has decided to switch Terry to the more competitive Porsche 911 GT3R, competing in the GT0 class.

The move comes after Terry's two DNFs (Did Not Finish) in the opening rounds, when Terry was first of all 'punted off' the track by John Cleland at Thruxton, and secondly, when the car broke a differential at Croft. Mike Pickup decided that Terry had more chance of winning races in the GT0 Porsche as it is so much more competitive.

Terry was to prove Mike right when at his opening race in the new car at Oulton Park, Terry and his new team mate, Geoff Lister, finished second in the GT0 class - just half a second behind winners Mark Sumpter and Chris Goodwin!

Things looked promising again in the fourth round race at Donnington, when Terry had a fantastic start, moving up the grid into first position, only to collide with Mark Sumpter (the winner from Outlon Park) and sustained a puncture forcing Terry to spin off into the gravel at turn one.
