CLASS WIN AND SECOND OVERALL
AT BRITCAR 24-HOUR ENDURANCE RACE
Team LNT’s Lawrence Tomlinson and Richard Dean along with Just Marketing International CEO, Zak Brown, took home a class win and impressive second overall in the Britcar 24-hour endurance race in Silverstone, U.K. last weekend, September 10th.
The immaculately prepared Moore International Motorsport BMW M3 ran two-hour sessions, allowing changeovers and pit stops for refueling. With the exception of radio troubles and a brake problem late in the race, few difficulties occurred during the 24-hour competition. All drivers ran strong sessions despite the low-visibility caused by early morning fog and despite two unanticipated pit stops.

“What an awesome race,” said Brown. "It felt great to get behind the wheel again despite a year away. A 24-hour race is physically and mentally draining, and our team persevered and delivered a win for Moore International Motorsports. Richard (Dean) started the race and gave the car to me in first-place in class, I was just happy to be able to help keep it there. Lawrence showed his ability to bring a car home and why he was part of the Le Mans winning team, working through some potential problems during his stint to hand the car over in great shape”.
Brown has previously raced professionally in the American Le Mans Series for sports cars and the single-seat, open-wheel competition in the Indy Lights and Formula Atlantic series. Team-mates Tomlinson and Dean collaborated to help win the GT2 class at this year’s 24-hour of Le Mans race in June.
“What a finish it was,” said team owner Willie Moore. “Despite two unscheduled stops, the drivers worked so well together. I am really chuffed (delighted) and am ready to do it all again next year!”
With Tomlinson and Dean starting to get a reputation of being 24 hour specialists, the dynamic duo now look forward to the final round of the Le Mans series at Jarama, Spain next weekend. “Lawrence and I enjoyed the event and it was great to be able to be part of the winning team during a 24 hour race again. We have a big job to do at Jarama now for Panoz, hopefully we can finish the season with another win in the LMS” added Dean.
