The Thiriet by TDS Racing won masterfully!

During Friday free practices, everything went in the best possible way with the fastest lap in the first session. This good result was reinforced by the second quickest time in the second free practice.After the qualifying session on Saturday morning, Mathias Beche set the car in the third position on the starting grid!

The Swiss driver took a good start but he preferred not to take any risks at the first bend. He lost one position but gained it back three corners later! He quickly understood he was dealing with a tricky car and lost some positions during his first stint. Fifth before his second stint, he waited for his opponents to pit in order to increase the gap thanks to a cleared track. He went to his pit a while later and thanks to a brilliant pit stop of the mechanics; he gained three positions and was second on the track! He then grabbed the first position once his direct opponent received a penalty. Once in the lead, the #1 Oreca Nissan will never leave that position!!!

At half distance, Mathias took over for Pierre Thiriet. He quickly found his pace since his opponents were at catch. Yet, the French driver fought against some professional drivers in the best possible way and managed the twenty seconds gap, crossing the finishing line as a winner!

In Austria, the line-up has showed it was complementary. Once again, Mathias has showed all his potential and Pierre has proved he handles the traffic in a better way thanks to his constant work.The line-up is stronger and stronger and that makes a difference on this tight track where it is hard to overtake and increase the gaps. The drivers have showed their talent and the team its strategy. These were the right ingredients to win the race!

Now, the team in charge of the #1Oreca Nissan is going to enjoy the summer break to come back even stronger for the fourth round which will take place in Hungary, on the Hungaroring track,next 13th and 14th September.
