Ian Coomber writes: Felmersham can
be proud that two people with close ties to the village
have triumphed at this weekend's Le Mans 24 hour race.
Arguably one of the most prestigious motor races in the
calendar, it is a gruelling test of man and machine. The
event was won overall by a Porsche 919 hybrid driven by
Felmersham resident Nick Tandy, Formula 1
star Nico Hulkenberg and New Zealander Earl Bamber.
The leading class for road-based cars was won by a GM
Corvette CR7 team led by Oliver Gavin (below, centre),
son of Michael and Debbie. The latter victory was one of
the hardest fought ever seen at Le Mans as the Corvette
swapped places throughout the night with the leading
Ferrari, only for the Ferrari to break in the closing
stages. |
