DuNlOP 1-2 aT IMOla<br />
The first ever rounds of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup and Le<br />
Mans Series at the Imola 6 Hours in Italy saw a 1-2 for <strong>Dunlop</strong> in<br />
the LMP2 class.<br />
<strong>Dunlop</strong> headed to the Italian former Grand Prix venue not<br />
knowing what to expect as prototype and GT cars are seldom<br />
visitors to the circuit.<br />
Variable weather added to the challenge, with heavy storms in<br />
practice however race day was a different matter with searing hot<br />
conditions greeting teams.<br />
Flying the <strong>Dunlop</strong> flag high were Greaves <strong>Motorsport</strong> who took a<br />
well judged win in the highly competitive LMP2 class which moved<br />
the team into the lead of the LMP2 standings of the Le Mans Series.<br />
Making it two sets of <strong>Dunlop</strong> caps on the podium, the Signatech<br />
Nissan Oreca took silver and continues to lead the teams’ points<br />
standings of the LMP2 class of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup.<br />
In the GTE Pro class, <strong>Dunlop</strong>’s technical partner team BMW<br />
<strong>Motorsport</strong> looked set to win with the #55 BMW M3 before on track<br />
contact and a drive through penalty dropped them to a third in<br />
class finish.<br />
