Former Le Mans winner Jan Lammers starred in the Gentlemen Drivers Pre-66 GT race at Zandvoort earlier today, guiding Michiel Campagnes Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport to a win in the 90-minute race.

Car owner Campagne enjoyed an early battle with Tom Coronel, the WTCC star making his debut in David Harts AC Cobra. However, when a caution zone developed, Campagne was deemed to have overtaken a backmarker under the waved yellow flags and he was given a 20 second stop-go penalty. That dropped the car behind Coronels Cobra and after the pit stops, Lammers rejoined over 40 seconds adrift of the AC. However, some inspired driving by the ex-Formula 1 racer brought the car back into contention and he was helped further by the Cobra of Hart becoming stuck in third gear.

Hart/Coronel hung on to second behind Campagne/Lammers, while Alexander van der Lof/Hans Hugenholtz (AC Cobra) took third. Fourth and fifth, after a race-long duel, were the Lotus Elans of Nelson Rowe/John Watson and Graham Wilson/Andy Wolfe, while Peter Gerhards/Han Int Veld (TVR Griffith) took sixth despite a pit lane penalty.

Hart made up for his disappointment by winning the Sports Racing Masers race in his Lola T70 Spyder from Chris Jolly/Steve Farthing (Cooper Monaco), with Laurie Bennetts third place earning the McLaren M1B driver his first Masters podium result.
