A near perfect race weekend for the Mirage Racing AMR crew in FFSA GT4

 

 

It was a near perfect return to the French FFSA GT4 Series for the #5 Mirage Racing Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4 driving partnership of David Levy and Jodie Sloss.

Racing this weekend at Dijon-Prenois, the #5 crew looked to improve upon their race finishes first time this season from Nogaro where the Am classed crew finished both races upon the class podium, but in P2 and P3 respectively at the end of each one-hour race.

 

Competing again within a combined grid of thirty-two cars, the #5 crew started the weekend better than last time out as each driver qualified their car within the top three in class before taking to the track for the first race later on Saturday afternoon.

Another typically hectic start to another GT4 powered race saw one car knocked into a spin at turn one first time around before the race settled into something of a rhythm. Only a later Safety Car for a car fire spoilt a clean run to the end where Levy finished off Sloss’s start to claim a P9 overall finish – P1 in class.

 

Sunday’s finale was something along a similar vein with dry and bright track conditions only being hampered by cooler temperatures. Whilst others felt it necessary to make contact with others, something that again brought out the Safety Car after the pit window, the #5 car kept things clean again for Sloss to eventually cross the line P9 overall – P1 in class.
