Red Bull clinches LMES title

- JOSH SUTTILL

a bold penultimat­e-lap pass on Michael Thomas Coyne (Solar Vision Racing) around the outside of Les Combes. Red Bull’s Aurelien Mallet spun down to 10th on lap one. He recovered brilliantl­y to finish in third behind Coyne. This left Red Bull and Lazarus tied heading into the decider.

Robin Betka took over the Red Bull for the reverse-championsh­ip-order 25-lap endurance race. Nyman made a critical error when he earned a five-second penalty after causing a collision with Miguel Molina.

Betka was also able to pass Nyman and undercut the leaders in mixed conditions to emerge with the lead, and ensured Red Bull won five of the 10 races in the qualifying series. This secured the team $10,000, with Lazarus second in the standings ahead of Total Performanc­e Racing, Fast Racers

Forza, Solar Vision and Ryze Motorsport.

Those six teams will compete for their share of $100,000 at the LMES Super

Final. They will be joined by wildcards and Autosport Internatio­nal qualifier winner Williams Esports.
