Aston Martin triumphs at Monza
ELMS - 27/04/2008
The Team Modena Aston Martin of Tomas Enge and Antonio Garcia had a trouble free race and took its first win of the year after a fantastic battle with the Luc Alphand Aventures Corvette of Olivier Beretta, Guilllaume Moreau and Patrice Goueslard.
The lead of the class was rarely more than 15 seconds and after five hours of hard racing, the margin of victory between the two was just 12 seconds.
"It was a hard race to the end," confirmed Garcia. "The car was running really well, and there was only one pit stop that was a bit slow. The rest ran well."
The Corvette lost a lot of time behind the safety car which stretched the lead from two seconds to nearly 20 in the final run to the flag.
"We were unlucky with the safety car but we have to say that the Aston Martin team did a good job," said Beretta. "I think that Le Mans will be very interesting this year."
The second Corvette of Jean-Luc Blanchemain, Sebastien Dumez and Patrice Manopoulos took the final podium position, ahead of the Lamborghini of Peter Kox and Roman Rusinov which recovered from an accident in the warm up to complete the race six laps down on the winners.
