Virgo man picks up victory in Belgium.

“The safety car periods added to the pressure, as it made it difficult for us to sustain the margin we had built up. Towards the end of the race we were conserving fuel, so we couldn't use the full power of the engine; it added to the excitement, but was a bit nail-biting for us. After the incident with the Pescarolo the car was a bit of a handful to drive, so I was pleased to be able to reach the chequered flag to score another victory for the team.

“Overall we had some pretty hairy moments today, but we started on pole and finished with a win, so we're really pleased with the weekend's results. Winning by a tenth demonstrates how tough and close the race was, and how hard we'll need to fight at the Le Mans 24 Hours.”
