Comments

Thorkild Thyrring had a strange campaign in the British GT Championship in 1999.

In the first two races he drove a Porsche 911 GT1 together with John Greasley. But then he teamed up with William Hewland in a Lister Storm for 3 races during the rest of the year.

The best result came in the final race of the year, where Thyrring and Hewland came 3rd and won the GT2 class.
