Young British sensation, Ollie Gray, shockingly secures second place in his debut at the prestigious Le Mans race, defying all odds and expectations. At just 20 years old, Gray, driving for VDS Panis Racing, showcased his immense talent and determination in the #48 Oreca 07-Gibson, alongside teammates Esteban Masson and experienced racer Franck Perera.

The team’s outstanding performance saw them leading for a significant portion of the race, with a remarkable gap of over a minute at one point during the grueling event. However, a twist of fate in the form of a safety car intervention narrowed their lead, setting the stage for a nail-biting finale.

Gray, reflecting on the race, expressed, “We all drove great throughout the race… We had to go full attack to put pressure on the leader and force a mistake, which we did.” The team’s relentless pursuit paid off when a penalty to the leading car propelled Masson into the front position, tantalizingly close to securing victory.

In a heartbreaking turn of events, suspension failure dashed their hopes of clinching the win in the final moments of the race, relegating them to a commendable second place. Despite the disappointment, Gray remains optimistic, affirming, “We can all be proud of the job we did over the last week and we will come back stronger.”

Notably, Gray’s performance outshone his more experienced teammate Perera, with the young driver completing 123 laps and setting a fastest time of 3:37.373. This impressive feat, faster than Perera’s best lap by four tenths of a second, underscores Gray’s exceptional talent and potential in the world of motorsport.

Stay tuned for an exclusive interview with Ollie Gray in the upcoming weeks, where he will delve into his journey in the European Le Mans Series, his aspirations in racing, and his remarkable rise to prominence in the sport. Prepare to be captivated by the story of this rising star who has already left a lasting impression on the motorsport world.
