G-Drive Racing stands out at the Spa Prologue

The days follow one another and are similar for the World Endurance Championship (WEC) in Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium). For the third consecutive Prologue test session, an LM P2 evolved faster than the new Hypercars.

While the English team United Autosports was at the forefront of the fight on Monday, It’s G-Drive Racing’s turn to stand out this Tuesday, April 27 in the morning. Nyck de Vries, at the wheel of the Oreca 07 badged Aurus by the Russian team, completed a lap in 2’04”822.

 

United Autosports is content with second place thanks to Felipe Albuquerque, ahead of the Jota structure and Antonio Félix Da Costa. The first Hypercar is only fourth, it is the Toyota GR010 of José Maria Lopez, 540 thousandths behind the Dutch leader.

The other Toyota, driven by Brendon Hartley is sixth, whileAlpine A480 is ranked 11th with Nicolas lapierre (+1''604). On the GTE Pro side, the advantage goes to Porsche which places its two 911 RSRs at the forefront, Kevin Estre ahead of Richard Lietz. The German manufacturer also leads GTE Am with Matteo Cairoli (Team Project 1) and Matt Campbell (Dempsey-Proton) at the front.

The red flag was raised after an accident involving Katherine Legge (Ferrari) and Job van Uitert (Oreca), without seriousness for the two drivers. Testing will resume at 14 p.m.

Passionate about the history of motorsport across all disciplines, I learned to read thanks to AUTOhebdo. At least that's what my parents tell everyone when they see my name inside!
