After learning'The Glen' with an experience in the PCA Club Racing, Christophe was competing in the 5th round of the Grand Am Rolex Sports Car Series, where the Supercar Life Racing Riley-BMW finished 7th. During the race, Christophe found himself in the lead, despite understeer problems which had seen the car qualify down in 10th position. However, the safety car then came out, and afterwards he then received a penalty : « In Grand-Am, you have to stay right behind the Safety Car, while in Europe you generally drop back slightly to be able to get a better start. The penalty cost me the lead. Then I climbed back up again, before handing the car over to Scott, who put in a good stint, and was able to stay on the same lap as the leader.»
When Christophe took the car over again, he unfortunately found that the windscreen had not been cleaned. Unable to see properly, he had to go back to the pits to get it cleaned. Now a lap down, he set off for one of his trademark triple-stints. He finally crossed the finish line in a fine 7th position.
« The result could have been a bit better, but globally everyone was satisfied. There were no mechanical problems, excellent team-work, no problems on the track, everything was perfect ! »
