09/05/2008: GT3 heads for the Temple of Speed : Monza

The FIA GT3 European Championship will also be in action in Monza, returning there for the second time.  Silverstone saw a double victory for Swiss team Matech Racing and the Ford GT of Ian Khan and Thomas Mutsch.  The duo are now hoping to emulate 2007 winners Moser and Vannelet, who started with a double victory in the first round and emerged victorious with the title.  But Silverstone especially proved just how close the 2008 season is likely to be.  With ten makes and eleven cars represented this year, the first race saw nine different manufacturers finish in the top nine places.  An unprecedented show of success for this category, which is just starting its third year of existence…  Last year, the Corvettes dominated in Monza; it will be interesting to see how the hierarchy has changed since last summer.   read more

30/04/2008: THE CAT SHOWS ITS CLAWS AT SILVERSTONE In the opening round of the 2008 FIA European GT3 debut at Silverstone last weekend, the Apex Motorsport Jaguar XKR GT3 had an extremely impressive and competitive showing, and counted a top five finish amongst its final tally. Two of the stunning, gunmetal-grey, 4.2 litre-engined Jaguars were competing in a closely levelled 43-car field.  The Cats were fast from the word go, despite the fact that it was the first race outing for all four drivers with both the team and the car, and both the qualifying and race results demonstrated very clearly just how much work and development had gone into the car over the winter period.   read more

The Martini Callaway Z06.R again looks to be capable of running at the front of the field.   read more

Second in race 2

I started from pole, but I was struggling to get heat into my tyres. Once they were up to temperature the car was fantastic – I set fastest lap of the race, so I’m happy with that. At one stage I ran wide because of oil on the track, which was a shame, but there was no real damage done. Racing in both GT and GT3 helps me, because I don’t have that much experience, so every time I can get behind the wheel is good
