Gus, in paying tribute to the support he’s received, said “my thanks to BMW Motorsport and Century Motorsport for providing such a well-balanced car which gives us, as drivers, the confidence to perform to the highest standard – and my special praise is reserved for my co-driver, Will Burns, who’s done a sterling job all season. All in all, it’s been a phenomenal team effort"

Century Team boss, Nathan Freke comments; “After receiving Rising Star recognition early this year from The British Racing Drivers Club, it is testament to Gus’ application and professionalism that he readily adapted to a new car in Britain’s pre-eminent endurance race championship and won it in his maiden season. If Gus continues on this trajectory, he has a very promising future in racing”.
