WEC Spa-Francorchamps LM P2 - winner reactions

Victorious in the LM P2 class at the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans, British team Jota Sport could not have dreamed of better preparation heading into the 2015 edition.

Since the inception of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) in 2012, Jota Sport, a big player in the European Le Mans Series, joins the group at the 6 Hours every year. At the wheel of the No. 38 Gibson-Nissan, Simon Dolan, Harry Tincknell and Mitch Evans gave the British team its fourth podium finish and second win in the Belgian Ardennes, despite a penalty for an early start.

Harry Tincknell: "I thought I pulled off a very good start, and I found myself second among the LM P2s at the first turn. Once in the lead, I carved out a good gap. After the penalty, I had to fight in the pack, but we knew we had a good car."
Mitch Evans: "It's incredible, I was lacking in experience and Harry and Simon's help was very dear to me. To be honest, it wasn't so bad in traffic, I just needed to leave room for the LM P1 prototypes. I took great advantage of each lap I did."
Simon Dolan: "Harry caught up very well. As to Mitch, he stunned everyone. As for me, I had to manage the gap. This win gives enormous confidence to the entire team heading into the 24 Hours of Le Mans."
