After several sucessful test sessions with the new Callaway built GT4 C6, it was time for the car to prove just how fierce of a competator it truely is.

Rain was in prediction for the first race at Silverstone and it began to fall during the race, but it was never officially declared a wet race.

The start of the race saw a good battle between the Astons of pole sitter Michael Mallock and Mayr-Melnhof, but on lap two, Mallock's car went off, hitting the wall hard, and bringing the safety car out. Racing resumed on lap seven and the remaining six laps saw some excellent battles, especially between Engelhorn, De Doncker and Kenis.

Van Dongen in the Corvette closed the gap toward the end to only 0.7 of a second behind the leader Mayr-Melnhof, but it was the Aston which took the chequered flag. As for De Doncker and Kenis, the Mustang and BMW crossed the line side by side, De Doncker taking fifth by only 0.025 of a second - a real photo finish !
