Former Babington House School pupil Esmee Hawkey wins 2020 Porsche Carrera Cup GB Pro-Am title

Esmee Hawkey finished the 2020 season off in style, claiming the Porsche Carrera Cup GB Pro-Am title at her home circuit of Brands Hatch, with a brace of second place finishes in tricky conditions.

The Chislehurst-based racer needed to score only one point from the 24 available over the course of the weekend to walk away with the title.

Knowing all she had to do was finish the first race to take the championship, Esmee adopted a cautious approach, staying out of trouble and finishing second in Pro-Am to score eight points and ensure she took the championship in the process. She stepped onto the podium to the delight of her team.

Esmee is just 22-years-old and attended Babington House School from age 3 to 16 years. Tim Lello, Headmaster, comments; “Esmee is a true inspiration, proving that determination, drive and ambition can take you on an amazing journey, she is a great Ambassador for all Babington students. We are proud to support her career and that Esmee wears the Babington logo on her race suit.”

Esmee said, “It’s been a great weekend for me. We came here with one goal, and that was to score the one point we needed to win the Pro-Am championship, so mission accomplished, and it was a mega weekend overall. I’m super happy to be going home a champion. It’s been a great year, a year that we didn’t know was going to go ahead, and it did, so I’m thrilled that we’ve finally got the Pro-Am championship underneath us and I’m excited for what’s to come in 2021.”
