Confirmation at Magny Cours

The fourth and penultimate Sprint event of the season, Magny-Cours will go down in the team’s history as one of the perfect race weekends. On an upward trajectory, Jamie and Kobe showed visible ease both in and out of the car. On the first day of the event, “only” second in practice, they won the Silver category in the race (7th overall) with the fastest lap to boot. Even better the next day: pole position, victory, and fastest lap (10th overall). In this unique Sprint format, where part of the success hinges on pit stops, the mechanics were more than up to the task with lightning-fast stops.

More than enough to satisfy Team Principal François Verbist: « We lived through a nightmare at the 24 Hours, where unfortunately none of our cars finished, even though our competitiveness wasn’t in question. Our leading car was actually in 3rd place at the time. Since then, we’ve had a bit of a fire in our belly, and no one here has given up. Jamie and Kobe have been in sync since Misano. The various practice sessions allowed our engineers and the team to fine-tune high-performance sprint setups. All this positive energy is leading to today’s this results. »
