Strakka victorious in LMP2 whitewash at the Hungaroring

Updated



After the dismal failure at Le Mans, mechanical reliability is once again Oreca's undoing in Hungary. LMP1 and LMP2 titles still to be decided at Silverstone.

The amazing pole for the Strakka LMP2 and the strong showing by the Rebellion Lolas was soon forgotten as the Oreca team surged into an early lead. The Peugeot 908 as well as the two Rebellions left the LMP2s standing and led the early part of the race. One of the two Swiss Lolas then suffered transmission problems and was passed by the rest of the field, though the sister coupé managed to keep up with the leading group until the halfway mark.
