Former GT Academy winner Jordan Tresson begins his second year in the GT4 Cup properly with a win at Silverstone - round 4 of the championship, in the Nissan 370z he shares with experienced racer Alex Buncombe.
It's a very busy time for the RJN motorsport team who run the 370z, with two cars running at the VLN at Nürburgring last weekend (and scoring a podium finish), the new BlancPain endurance championship, and of course the ADAC 24h at the Nürburgring later on this month - so I'm sure the success will be well appreciated by the pit crews, and those back at base!
It wasn't an easy victory, and followed a tight battle at the front with the BMW M3 of Ricardo van der Ende + Duncan Huisman, and the Lotus Evora of Stefano D'Aste.
As can be seen in the table below, whilst only a second separate the top 3, they had opened up a near 30 second lead over the 4th place car.
Of course being GT4, there were battles going on throughout the 19 car field, with the grid looking healthy for 2011!
The Pitwall will be covering the whole FIA GT weekend at Silverstone, including the second GT4 race this afternoon, the GT3 races, and of course the main event - the FIA GT1!
