GT Tour: Sébastien Loeb Racing Audi wins Val de Vienne race 2


By Tarek Ramchani

Sébastien Loeb Racing took an amazing victory in the second GT Tour race at the Val de Vienne circuit.

The #3 Audi R8 LMS ultra shared by David Hallyday, Philippe Gaillard and Mike Parisy started from pole position and crossed the finish line victrious at the end of the 90-minute endurance event. Yesterday the three drivers started from pole position but were taken out from the race after loosing a wheel. A great result for them against a full field of Ferrari 458 GT3s.

The second Sébastien Loeb Racing entry performed very well. As was the case in yesterday's race 1, the #5 Audi R8 LMS ultra driven by Christophe Hamon, Christian Bottemanne and Lonni Martins narrowly missed the podium and took a strong fourth place overall.
