Le vainqueur de Magny Cours! Drew McLean and Phil Elmore Win!

[davidan]

With champagne and a baguette raised high in each hand, Drew McLean celebrates his GT win at Magny Cours and Phil Emore brings home 1st place in the coveted GTC class.



The podium finishers just punished the rest of the field with their incredible display of racing finesse and speed. The French were aghast that not one of their own kind were fast enough to breach the top 20 at CMS Racing (nor were they allowed too ;-)! Some very intense racing between Drew, Kris and Hein with some equally intense laps that were fought out between Phil and Paul in the GT class.

GT Class
1st: Drew McLean (BMW E92 - Uranus Racing West)brings home the victory for the GT class
2nd: Kris Hudson (Corvette C6-RGT - Hudson Design)
3rd: Hein Houweling (Porsche 997 GT3 RSR - Howling Racing)

2nd: Paul Hamilton (Porsche 997 GTC - Miskatanic Motorsports)
3rd: Emmanuel Baako (Porsche 997 GTC - ILMS)

For the bottom 3 drivers who's race at Magny Cours ended prematurely, they were found raiding one of the local French villages for fresh chicken, red wine and blue cheese, inviting local gypsies for a botched-race celebration that lasted well into the next morning.
