British representation in sportscar racing is in a healthy place at the moment. For evidence of that, look no further than last weekend’s Spa World Endurance Championship round. Seven Britons featured in the top Hypercar class, split across five different manufacturers. And there was no shortage of noteworthy performances to be found.
United Autosports driver Tom Blomqvist stormed to LMP2 class pole in qualifying before pulling out a 45s lead in the first two stints of the race, Mike Conway got his title challenge back on track by leading a Toyota 1-2 from pole, and James Calado’s superb late charge was rewarded by recovering a podium finish for Ferrari on the final lap.
