Spa-Francorchamps is one of the favourite tracks on the ELMS calendar for both drivers and teams. We spoke to three race winners from the last race at Silverstone about their thoughts on the next race on the awesome 7km circuit in the Ardennes.
Jean-Eric Vergne
No26 G-Drive Racing Oreca 07 - Gibson
“We’ve already won at Spa this year when we won the WEC race there earlier this year. We have the same car, probably even a bit improved. It’s a track I really love and so far in LMP2 this year with G-Drive and my two teammates I have one hundred percent wins; so hopefully we can carry this on in Spa.”
Tony Wells
No3 United Autosports Ligier JS P3-Nissan
“I love Spa! My favourite part is the braking down into Pouhon, it’s ridiculously late! Spa’s a great track. We’ve tested there, we’ve had a British GT round there, so we seem to go well there. We’re cautiously optimistic of getting a good result.”
Miguel Molina
No66 JMW Motorsport Ferrari F488 GTE
“Spa is one of the best tracks in the world. It’s really unique. You have some corners that you don’t have to think too much to go through and others that you do. It’s a track that suits the Ferrari. But let’s see what will happen during the race but we are also cautiously optimistic.”
