WEC – H+3: The #7 Audi takes the lead at Silverstone

Anthony Davidson (Toyota n°1) a pris la tête de la course à Silverstone au jeu des arrêts. Mais le champion du monde en titre voit revenir à toute allure l’Audi n°7 désormais pilotée par André Lotterer qui a remplacé Marcel Fässler. L’Allemand a facilement pris l’avantage sur le Britannique.

Romain Dumas a remplacé Neel Jani sur la Porsche n°18 qui se retrouve au 3e rang devant la Toyota n°2 de Mike conway. The second TS040 had to return to the pits following slight contact with the Larbre Competition Corvette C7R. Loïc duval completes the top five in the No. 8 Audi.

LMP2 is still dominated by the Ligier JSP2s from G-Drive Racing. But category leader Roman Rusinov suffered a scare when he spun following contact with the Strakka Racing Dome S103. The ESM HPD ARX-03b driven by David Heinemeir-Hansson still completes the top three.

Porsche keeps the lead in GTE Pro with the #92 of Patrick Pilet ahead of both by a handful of seconds Ferrari from AF Corse. The Italian team took control of GTE Am with the #83 Ferrari driven by Rui Aguas. The Larbre Competition Corvette received a one-minute penalty for an infraction in the pits while it was in 3rd place in the category.
