The team fought back from the early delay and were for much of the race the quickest LM GT1 car lapping the high-speed Belgian circuit, but the initial deficit was too much for drivers Antonio Garcia and Tomas Enge to catch the flying leaders[...]]]></description>

The improvement showed a very good combination of engineering skills and rule knowledge that helped the Ingolstadt team to close the gap with the French lion just before Le Mans[...]]]></description>
