G-Drive Racing Out In Front after 120 minutes of Racing at Silverstone

ELMS - 18/08/2018

After two hours of racing the no26 G-Drive Racing Oreca of Andrea Pizzitola was leading the 4 Hours of Silverstone. The French driver was holding a comfortable 24 second lead over the no24 Racing Engineering Oreca of Matthieu Vaxivierre, the no23 Panis Barthez Competition Ligier of Timothé Buret and the no21 DragonSpeed Oreca of Nico Lapierre

The no3 United Autosports Ligier of Matt Bell is the leader in the LMP3 category, passing the pole position holder, Mattia Drudi in the no12 EuroInternational Ligier. The no2 United Autosports Ligier-Nissan of Sean Rayhall was second at the halfway point of the race after also passing Drudi. The American had to fight his way back up the field after spinning off at the first corner at the start of the race, dropping Rayhall down the order.

The no88 Proton Competition Porsche of Giorgio Roda was leading the LMGTE category.  The Italian holds a 10.8 second lead over the no55 Spirit of Race Ferrari of Aaron Scott.

A first corner incident saw the no22 United Autosports Ligier of Phil Hanson and the no47 Cetilar Villorba Corse Dallara of Giogio Sernagiotto spin off and rejoin down the field. The no47 Dallara made several stops after slowing on track and eventually retired. The no22 Ligier also retired from the race after Hanson pulled off track and climbed out.

The no35 SMP Racing Dallara retired after locking up and spinning across the gravel to hit the tyre wall.  Victor Shaitar got the car back to the pits but the Dallara was too badly damaged to continue.  A Full Course Yellow was declared while the marshals worked hard to put the SMP Racing Dallara back on track and recover the no32 United Autosports Ligier to a safe position.
