The #40 Lotus Elan driven by Ben Barker, Rory Butcher, and Ben Tinkler secured victory in the first-ever six-hour Equipe Classic Racing endurance event at Donington Park last weekend. The trio was followed home by the similar Elan of John Tordoff, James Dorlin, and Andrew Jordan.
Tordoff started the race from pole in the #600 car, after Jordan set the fastest time in the morning qualifying session, but was outdragged by the #40 Lotus on the run into Redgate. By lap two, the lead Elan had already built a gap of a second, while Tordoff soon fell outside the top five, but the Am driver was happy to be on the pace regardless.
