The consistency that brought Barwell back-to-back British GT glory
Never finishing lower than fifth, Leo Machitski and Dennis Lind’s peerless consistency paid dividends in 2021 as British GT’s decision to drop the Silver class yielded the same outcome as in 2020 - a Barwell-run Lamborghini sweeping to the title.

Eight winners from nine races in the 2021 British GT Championship would suggest the season was a wide-open affair. Five crews held a mathematical chance of the title heading into the final round at Donington Park, as organiser SRO was totally vindicated in returning the series to its traditional Pro-Am format.
But that Barwell Motorsport pair Leo Machitski and Dennis Lind prevailed after a tense two hours, during which Machitski claimed to have aged 10 years, should come as no surprise when considering their peerless consistency. Aside from being the blameless victims in a first corner tangle in the first Donington race – Machitski unable to avoid Michael Igoe’s WPI Motorsport Lamborghini, which had been turned around by Nick Jones – they were never outside the top five.
