2018 Champions Flick Haigh And Jonny Adam Return

2018 British GT Championship winning pairing Flick Haigh and Jonny Adam will make a return to the championship grid, racing with the team at selected rounds during the 2022 season.

The pair will be reunited for the first time since they took the title,  joining the action from round two for the Silverstone 500, before heading to Snetterton and Brands Hatch. The pair will run in a second Mercedes-AMG GT3 of 2 Seas Motorsport, alongside the full-season entry of James Cottingham and Lewis Williamson.

Flick Haigh returns to the championship for the first time since securing overall GT3 honours in 2018. With the title win, Flick wrote history by becoming the first female driver to achieve the result; a feat made even more impressive with it being her series debut.

Jonny Adam meanwhile claimed the third of a current four British GT Championship titles in 2018 with Haigh.

The 2022 effort though sees the Scot race in GT3 with a brand other than Aston Martin for the first time in his career. His 96 Championship appearances since a 2011 debut at Oulton Park, 16 overall wins (a Championship total second only to Phil Keen) have been achieved in all three generations of AMR’s GT3 cars (pictured below is his very first Championship win, in 2011 in the Beechdean Aston Martin DBRS9).  The Silverstone 500 sees him makes his first ever race start with the Mercedes-AMG GT3.

Flick Haigh:

“It’s taken a while, but I am so pleased to be able to say that I’m back. The British GT championship holds some really fantastic memories, and it is great to continue this journey alongside Jonny and to join 2 Seas Motorsport. I am really pleased to be heading to Silverstone for our first race where we scored a podium back in 2018, and the team had a great result there last year, so we are going to be pushing for a strong result from the start and looking to build on this at Snetterton and Brands Hatch.”

Jonny Adam:

“I am super excited to be back in British GT for a few selected rounds, and back racing with Flick. Last time we raced together we shared a championship victory in 2018 and it’s great to see her back behind the wheel of a GT3 car. We have tested with 2 Seas Motorsport and the team have been great to work with, so we have high hopes to try and achieve some solid results for Flick on her return, back to British GT. I’d also like to say a big thank you to Aston Martin Racing for letting me do the races with Flick and 2 Seas.”

Isa Al Khalifa, team co-owner, 2 Seas Motorsport:

“It is a real coup for us to confirm that Flick and Jonny will be reunited to take on these additional British GT events. Flick secured the title on her debut, which is a huge result, and remains the only female driver to have achieved this. Jonny has proved on multiple occasions to be the class of the field and is one of the most successful drivers in the history of the championship. It is really exciting to bring them back together, and we are excited to see them both competing with us in the Mercedes-AMG.”

Flick and Jonny are currently carrying out a testing programme with 2 Seas Motorsport head of their racing return.
