Tim Bridgman won the 2009 Porsche Carrera Cup GB during the final two races of the season at Brands Hatch (3/4 October), taking a maximum weekend score of 44 points to jump ahead of James Sutton and Tim Harvey in the final standings.

Bridgman claimed the title for Team Parker Racing with two poles, two wins and two fastest laps to beat 2007 champion Sutton and 2008 champion Harvey to the title. “Going into Brands we were eight points back, and we set ourselves the target of maximum points. We achieved that,” said the 24-year old from Stansted.

“All season the championship has been the target,” said Bridgman. “Stuart Parker and I have been so focused on winning this and so much work has gone in from everyone in the team. To achieve your goal is a fantastic feeling. It’s 50% happiness and 50% relief. This has been my dream!”

Bridgman paid tribute to the level playing field offered by the Carrera Cup and said that he loves driving the 911GT3 Cup car. ” I have to thank Porsche for keeping such equal equipment,” he said. “I can honestly say this is by far the most equal of any one-make championship I’ve raced in. That makes a big difference.”

Already, Bridgman has the Porsche Supercup as his target for next season. “Supercup is where I want to be. I’ve made no secret of that aim this season and I want to be racing on the international stage next year,” he said. “I believe I deserve a chance and I’ve got a lot to offer.”
