Quotes from Race 2

Frederic Makowiecki (#4 Hexis Racing AMR Aston Martin DBRS9) - 1st Place
"The first part of the race for me was very good.  I had a good start and I keep the second place during my part.  The team worked very hard on the carand I had a really good car. It wasn't possible to challenge for the lead during the first part of the race, Thomas was five tenths quicker than me and I just had to make sure I didn't loose too much time to the other cars behind, to keep second place and to give Manuel the car in second place."

Manuel Rodrigues (#4 Hexis Racing AMR Aston Martin DBRS9) - 1st Place
"It's a big first for me as this is my first win in FIA GT3.  I'm very pleased and my thanks to the team for giving us a perfect car today.  Thank you also to my teammate but he was a bit disobedient because I asked him to hand over the car two laps in the lead and he only managed five or six seconds.  It is a very good result and I'm very, very happy."

Maxime Martin (#101 AutoGT Racing Morgan Aero Super Sport) - 2nd Place
"I did get quite a good start but everybidy else could brake fifteen metres further than me so they passed me at the first corner.  Afterwards I was fourth behind the Ferrariand then I could pass him.  It was good and it was a very good car.  The car was consistent from the very beginning to the end of the race, which is very important and now we are looking for the championship."

Gael Lesoudier (#101 AutoGT Racing Morgan Aero Super Sport) - 2nd Place
"I was a little bit frustrated to have a car between me and the leader at the end of the race but when I took the car in third position I had a problem trying to get a good feeling on the track because of the night and because the rear tyres on the car.  But I am very happy for the team for this weekend because we had a lot of trouble in the first race on both cars and I think second place is good for us and for the championship."

Andrea Palma (#8 Kessel Racing Ferrari 430 Scuderia) - 3rd Place
"I had a very good start.  We didn't do well in qualifying and after the start we had difficulties because the tyres caused some oversteer, which caused us a big problem. After the pitstop Steffano did a brilliant job."

Steffano Gattuso (#8 Kessel Racing Ferrari 430 Scuderia) - 3rd Place
"A very difficult but very good race for us. I pushed very hard during my stint and I would like to thank all my teamfor all their hard work this weekend.  It is looking good for Oschersleben because we had a lot of problems with the engine and gearbox at Silverstone and here the car was very, very good, which let us take third and now we are looking good for the next two races in Germany."

Tim Sugden (#22 Trackspeed Porsche 997 GT3 Cup S) - 4th Place
"That was good fun! I made a terrible start; got boxed on the outside and managed to be in all the wrong places on the first few corners.  So I dropped back from 7th to about 9th which gave me a lot of work to do to get back.  It was good fun, the car was quick and delighted that David had a brilliant race.We very nearly finished 3rd, which would've been fantastic.  None the less it is good to finish as the top Porsche, we've had a difficult weekend, so it is nice to come back with something."
