The final race of the weekend at Brands Hatch saw John Bowler (#14) line up on the front row in P2, closing out a consistently strong showing for Bowler Racing.
From the start, Bowler was immediately in contention, applying pressure to the race leader and showing clear race-winning pace. Lap by lap, he continued to close the gap, building what looked to be a decisive challenge for the lead as the race progressed.
With momentum firmly on his side and the fight intensifying, the race appeared set for a thrilling conclusion. However, with just three laps remaining, a turbo failure brought an abrupt end to Bowler’s charge, forcing retirement from a highly promising position.
It was a frustrating conclusion to the weekend, particularly given the pace and consistency shown throughout. Despite the result, the performance across the race once again highlighted the competitiveness of both driver and package, with Bowler demonstrating strong racecraft and determination from lights to flag.
While the final result did not reflect the potential on display, the weekend as a whole provides significant positives — with clear speed, multiple podium finishes, and a strong foundation to build on heading into the next round.
