A race of contrasts for Greaves Motorsport in 4 Hours of Le Castellet

#41 Matt McMurry started from two places behind his team mate, having Qualified the car for the first time. He was involved in an accident in at the first corner after contact from behind in the bumpy braking zone, the resultant damage forcing the Zytek into its first retirement of the season.  

Team Principal Tim Greaves:“That was a tense race that was a flat out sprint for four hours with half a dozen potential winners, the level of competition in the European Le Mans Series this season is very strong.”

“It was an unfortunate start to the race for #41, but that is motor sport, you have to deal with the problems as well as the successes. Matt will return stronger as a result of this, as a driver myself I know that the trick is turn a negative into a positive and I know that Matt will do just that. Johnny Mowlem joined the team for the race replacing Chris Dyson, who had other commitments. He will have to wait another day to get his long awaited début with Greaves Motorsport. As would be expected Johnny settled into the team well and showed good pace in the short time he had in the car. We hope he can join us in Estoril.”

Team Manager Jacob Greaves:“A mixed day for the team but we will bounce back. Our partners, Zytek, Nissan and Dunlop all made significant contributions and the guys working in the team did their usual stellar job. We are looking forward to the final race of the season at Estoril next month.”

“Both Mark and Luciano showed good pace in the race and a podium was within reach for much of the afternoon, however the fuel problem on the last lap dropped us to fifth, which was disappointing considering our performance up to that point. A cold beer was our only consolation prize and even that was not just reward for the efforts that the team put in at the weekend.”
