BES – Ortelli: “Don’t think about the title”

Stéphane Ortelli and Frank Stippler lead the Championship with 8 points ahead on the Düsseldorp-Bastian tandem (Rowe Racing) before the Blancpain final Endurance Series contested this Sunday, September 20 at the Nürburgring (Germany), Markus Palttala and Lucas Luhr (Marc VDS Racing) being retained this weekend in USC when they were the closest rivals of the leaders with 7 units behind.

The leading crew of Team WRT will have a great opportunity to win the title, especially since Stéphane Ortelli already won the title in 2012. “ This means we have had a very good year so far.”, underlined the Monegasque on the official website of the Blancpain Endurance Series. “We lost a lot of points when we retired at Paul-Ricard (Var) which occurred 11 minutes from the end. »

The Team WRT driver's experience forces him to remain cautious about his team's chances. “We know that the level of the Blancpain Endurance Series is very high and that many teams can still be crowned. The best thing is don't think about the title by doing our race, as we did since Monza (Italy), trying to remain efficient on Audi land”, added Stéphane Ortelli.

The two Championship leaders will be joined by Stéphane Richelmi for the last event of the season.
