Sixth feels like a win for Priaulx

ANDY PRIAULX was all smiles after one of the toughest races of his season in the Tudor United SportsCar Championship, despite only finishing sixth in the GTLM class with his American team-mate Bill Auberlen in the Lone Star Le Mans race at the Circuit of the Americas.

The pair extracted the maximum out of their BMW Z4 GTLM and had to cope with not only much faster cars in their class, but also scorching Texas temperatures.

After qualifying the black No. 55 car, Priaulx also did the opening stint and came in after the first hour of the race at the end of lap 26 to hand the car over to Auberlen.

The American then stayed in the BMW Team RLL car until the end of lap 47 when he handed it back to the Guernseyman, who drove to the finish of the 75-lap race.
