SILVERSTONE – Pecom Racing team on podium in the “Six Hours of Silverstone” (LMP2 category), round one of the 2013 FIA World Endurance Championship.
The Pecom Racing Oreca 03 powered by Nissan (with Michelin tyres ) started from the P7 on the grid; following, the race of the Pecom Racing drivers was troubled by a collision with another LMP2 prototype which crashed into its front-right wing. Thanks to extremely quick repairs in the pits, clever strategy at the wall and very fast stints of each of the three drivers, the team enabled to collect a top-three result.
The drivers of Pecom Racing, however, did not celebrate the podium soon after the end of the “6 Hours of Silverstone”: they took the chequered flag in fourth position.
Just a few hours later, the organisation of the world championship has decided to penalize the squad that preceded in the standing (removing 1 laps) for an irregularity observed during the race. This fact permitted the third place for Pecom Racing and important points gained.
