The final day of action at Brands Hatch posed an added number of challenges for McAMS Racing, with Kent taking a second DNF of the weekend in unfortunate fashion.

After a heartbreaking Saturday, which saw the Yamaha R1 rider fall from second while demonstrating competitive pace, Kent was determined to continue on from his good form throughout Friday’s practice and Saturday’s Qualifying to mount a podium attack in the 12-lap Sprint. However, the team’s wave of back luck continued in Sunday’s opener, getting taken out at Turn 1 on the opening lap after starting from eighth on the grid.

Danny sustained a small cut to his right arm in the process, and the team worked hard to rebuild the Yamaha R1 superbike in time for Sunday’s final race at 16:15.

An early end to his race meant that Kent sat 24th on the grid for the final, 20-lap charge to the flag. From lights out, the man from Tetbury made steady progress through the field, making up nine places to finish in 15th across the line.

The 15th-place finish scored the team their first point of the weekend. Heading towards Thruxton in two weeks, the team remain fifth in the overall standings with 148 points in total.

Despite a challenge-enduring weekend, the team look forward to an opportunity for redemption at Thruxton.
