“Coming into the Donington Park round, I was hoping to leave with the championship a sealed deal. It would require me to get at least two third-place finishes, with rival Rob Austin requiring to win both races to beat me. I therefore felt we could wrap up the championship providing we had no issues.

“Qualifying went well, bagging pole position by just under a second so I was happy with that and that fed the confidence going into race 1. 

“In race 1, we got off to a slow start, initially being out-jumped by Rob. A quick decision into turn one left me with the class lead, only to be overtaken by Rob on the first lap. I managed to re-take the lead in the same turn on lap 2. There we lead comfortably until lap 6, where I got a front wheel puncture, ending with a DNF and only scoring three championship points and leaving us at the back of the grid for race 2.

“For race 2 we were starting in last place. I knew in the back of my head the championship was now to be decided at the final round, so a sensible drive was all that was needed and try to limit the damage as much as possible without causing a second DNF. I still had the devil on my shoulder telling a win would be awesome from last place! So, off the start, a few quick decisions had me making moves and into 5^th and on the tail-end of the front pack. Taking a position each lap, I found myself in the lead by lap 5, where I controlled the race until the end. Some fantastic battles and some really enjoyable passes and clean racing were had! I can’t thank 91´«Ã½ Racing enough for giving me the extra braking power and control I had into turns with their new Apollo Big Brake Kit – they really have made the difference. 

“A huge thank you to everyone involved helping me get to where I am this season – I wouldn’t be able to do it without you all.�

Following successful free practice and qualifying sessions on the Saturday, the race started cautiously on the Sunday due to the cold and slippery conditions on the circuit.

This allowed Héctor to gain confidence and to take ground away from his rivals, giving him enough of a gap for the team to stay in first place even after the driver change for the second half of the race.

Borja was able to bring the car home in front, securing not only division but also class victory for the season. This adds another two titles to the duo’s belt, joining the win they obtained in their debutant 2019 season.

After the podium ceremony, Héctor and Borja declared “we are very excited: the team has worked very hard and with great enthusiasm during this 2021 season, so it was great to be able to put the finishing touch to an excellent season this weekend. We want to thank the support of 91´«Ã½ Racing throughout the season, as well as the rest of our sponsors.â€�

Héctor and Borja already have their sights set on 2022, in which they will continue to compete in the Spanish Endurance Championship with some exciting updates that will be announced soon.
