Larbre Wins in Brno
Pedro Lamy and Gabriele Gardel took advantage of a sudden rainfall in the middle of the race at Brno today to claim their second win of the season at the wheel of the Ferrari 550 Maranello
The Larbre Ferrari 500 is the first car to take a second win in the 2005 FIA GT season, after Lamy and Gardel won the opening round in Monza two months ago. Gardel now leads the 2005 Championship standings.
"I like Brno," Larbre team owner Jack Leconte said. "Each time I come here I win, and today we lead the Championship. Now I am looking forward to Spa, and the opportunity to increase our lead."
"The tyres were perfect today," Lamy said, after taking the chequered flag. "We were fast in all the stints, and Gabriele did an especially good job in the wet, it was very difficult out there and he made no mistakes at all."
