The #88 wins in Magny-Cours and extends its leadership in Ultimate Cup Series

The 2020 Ultimate Cup Series’ third race held in Magny-Cours (France) couldn’t have gone better for Team Virage and its LMP3 #88 driven by Cristovao, Wagg and Ghiretti.

Our LMP3 #88 broke all records : P1 in Free Practice and Night Practice on Friday; Pole Position with the new Magny-Cours LMP3 track record (1:32.360); and the very best : the victory with fastest race lap in Saturday night’s race, one lap ahead of the closest competitor.

Team Virage’s prototype Ligier JSP320 driven by the Portuguese Miguel Cristovao, the Swiss-American Julian Wagg and the French Alessandro Ghiretti achieved a new victory at Magny-Cours after 4 hours and 142 laps. Despite a drive-through in the first stages of the race, the #88  adapted perfectly its strategy to an early Safety-Car period in order to get its second victory in three races, extending its leadership in the European championship.
