That British GT’s visit to Spa ended with an empty top step of the podium for its overall victors – with the second and third-place finishers celebrating sheepishly either side – was an indication that this was no ordinary race.
On one level, it was quite the good news story. Nick Halstead and Jamie Stanley took their and the Fox Motorsport team’s first overall British GT race victory, and they did it with a formidable performance in their McLaren 720S that did not owe to the misfortune of others.
