Jota Sport left Donington with high hopes after a strong weekend which culminated in race victory for Phil Quaife, who was unfortunate to be handed a post-race penalty.

Jota Sport's Sam Hancock scored fourth and fifth places respectively in rounds five and six of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB at Donington Park.

The 2004 Le Mans Endurance Series LMP2 champion and team-mate Phil Quaife had a constructive test in their Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars the week preceding the race, but the duo were unable to replicate that in qualifying, their grid positions not being as high as they had expected. But a competitive race two saw the team leave the Derbyshire race track encouraged, despite Quaife being stripped of a race two victory by an imposed penalty for overtaking under a yellow flag.
