Esteban Guerrieri eventually wound up eighth for Ultimate Motorsport, after brake trouble blunted a charge that had at one point seen the Argentine run as high as sixth. Sergio Perez crossed the line ninth overall and first in the National Class for the sixth time in 2007, with Fortec Motorsport's Greg Mansell rounding out the top ten. Sergio Perez took second in the National Class, ahead of Hamad Al Fardan and Michael Meadows.
“Everyone knows I had a bit of a problem starting at
Brands Hatch,” remarked Bird, delighted to have regained second position in the drivers' title chase from Engel following his dominant triumph. “I was keen to put that behind me and prove I could have a legitimate and very quick start! I had enough speed to pass Stephen into the second corner and I must thank him for not squeezing me into the wall. Stephen got a good tow on me and led the next couple of laps, but then I got a good tow on him and was able to pass.
“I thought we would pull away from the rest of the pack, but unfortunately for Stephen and I suppose fortunately for me he began to suffer from handling problems and I was able to break away. What can I say? It was just brilliant to take another victory. I'm starting the next race from third again so it would be amazing if I could do the same thing in race two, but I'm sure Stephen and Maro are going to want to get revenge.”
Asmer was also in buoyant spirits following his searing charge through the pack, and hopeful of not having to fight his way past quite so many rivals in race two.
“I got a good start and managed to get a couple of cars away from the line,” the Estonian explained, “then another through Eau Rouge. Then they all seemed to queue up going over the hill so I managed to pass a few more there; it's hard to remember who I passed where as there were so many!
