Friday
Jacob showed front-running pace from the start of Friday practice.
Qualifying
Jacob topped the times after the first run and was the first driver into the 46-second bracket. On his second set of tyres, a slight balance change and traffic on his two fastest laps left him fourth for Race 1 – just a tenth off pole – and third for Race 2, only 0.06 seconds away.
Race 1
A clean start and a safety car period followed. With overtaking scarce on the Indy layout, Jacob brought it home fourth.
Race 2
Jacob launched well and challenged for second on the opening lap. After another safety car, he defended firmly in the second half of the race to take third – his second podium of the year.
Race 3
A strong start put Jacob in the fight for second, but lifting to avoid contact cost him momentum and a place. He shadowed the car ahead for the full 20 minutes and mounted a late charge for the final podium spot, finishing fourth.
“Brands Hatch delivered three strong results, with a podium and two fourth places. We didn't quite have the pace we had at Donington, but we worked hard on the setup and the car felt much better in the final race. It was just incredibly hard to overtake on the Indy circuit.
“Up next is Oulton Park, where I took my first class win last year. It's a track I really enjoy, so I'll be hoping to go a few steps higher on the podium.”
