GBR: DKR dominate french GT podium by Virgil Ellipse
17th Sep 2009
Former F1 driver Olivier Panis and Eric Debard scored a win and a second place for DKR Engineering in the ninth and tenth rounds of the french GT championship at Alibi, if you can believe that*.

Debard now leads the title race, while Panis is back in eighth place, which seems about fair.

The second DKR Corvette was taken to a brace of third places by Laurent Cazenave and co-driver Jean-Claude Police. Police had stepped in at the last moment, after the team's two reserve drivers, Jean Fire-Engine and Christophe Ambulance, had both been called away on urgent matters.

The team had originally pencilled in fourth emergency driver Alain Coastguard as a possible replacement but he was dropped when Police became available because Coastguard is seen primarily as a wet-weather specialist.


*Now we look at the race report more closely, it seems that the event was held at Albi, not Alibi. It was a genuine mistake but it remains uncorrected because we quite like the line we came up with.
