Oak Racing was surely glad that it brought two of the 13 cars in the European Le Mans Series Six Hours of Donington. After leading almost half the race, the #24 Oak Racing Morgan-Judd lost time to spin, then a penalty for speeding on pit lane, then a gearshift malfunction which sent to car to the garage for a new ECU.
Luckily for Oak, the #35 Morgan-Nissan took the lead on lap 70. The second Oak car lost the lead in the pits after a wreck brought out the safety car at the three-hour mark, then retook it on lap 201 when the #19 Greaves Motorsports Zytec Z11SN-Nissan pitted.
The Oak car never again surrendered the lead. The team made no errors, used good strategy (like taking only left-side tires at their last stop to get back out on track faster) and drivers Olivier Pla, Bertrand Baguette, and Dimitri Enjalbert never put a wheel wrong while the competition suffered from driver errors and mechanical failures.
