Tomas Enge won his third race of the Le Mans Series season at Silverstone but the win was not enough to take the GT1 title. Together with Spaniard Antonio Garcia in their Team Modena DBR9 the pair came second in the GT1 championship. Team Modena was delighted to win on their home turf at Silverstone. Enge started the race from the second place but soon moved into the lead and Garcia and Enge kept the lead untill the checquered flag.
Tomáš Enge: “It was again a great race. I started second but got by Peter Kox after lap 8 and built a gap. Our Aston Martin DBR9 was running well and we had a gap of 30 seconds after the first stint. We did not have any major issue, so we built a gap of one lap. We used the yellow’s well. As we had said before the start our aim was to win and then wait for result of our biggest competitors. They scored points so we did not get the title. However, I had a very nice year in the Le Mans Series. It was nice to work with Antonio, I would be happy to race again with him in the future. Three wins out of five races are pleasant, especially today’s one. Out team Modena is based in Silverstone and it is always great to win at home.”
