ILMC Silverstone 6hrs

Another gorgeous this weekend at Silverstone for the 4th round of the ILMC, where Audi & Peugeot were set to continue their battle for sportscar supremacy. After Audi had enjoyed great success at Le Mans the ILMC was very much Peugeot’s domain in 2011. Allan McNish was the biggest threat from Audi and as has frequently been the case in recent races his aggression proved decisive and in the 1st hour the lead Audi dropped 5 laps following repairs from a coming together with one of the Peugeot’s.

Woodpecker Rally

It just had to be on the final Woodpecker for the legendary Peugeot Cosworth of Andy Burton & Robin Kellard. They took an emotional victory in the end winning by 40 seconds, but early on they had been pushed hard by Roger Chilman & Andrew Sankey (Impreza WRC). Radnor proved to be the turning point as Burton pushed hard and opened up an advantage through the two stages. The battle for third was closer and no less intensely fought as Roger Duckworth & Shaun O’Gorman (Impreza WRC) edged out Shaun Gardener & Ben Innes (Evo 5.9) by just 9 seconds.
