20.06.2003  VELOQX PRODRIVE RACING CELEBRATE AN HISTORIC WIN AT THE LE MANS 24 HOURS

Few doubted the speed of the Care-owned Prodrive-run Ferrari 550 Maranellos, but many doubted the fragile car's potential to remain reliable for 24 hours. However, this small, privately run & financed English team, took the fight to the factory Chevrolet Corvette's backed by might of the US automotive industry, from the start to the finish of the world’s most testing endurance sportscar race, and came away with an historic victory and the first for a GT Ferrari at Le Mans since 1974. 

The Veloqx Prodrive team led the GTS timesheets for the entire race and Jamie Davies, Tomas Enge and Peter Kox achieved a popular and rousing victory, crossing the finish line at 4pm, with ten laps in hand over the first of the Corvettes.
