03/09/2006 Davies and Biagi win 100th FIA GT Championship race


The 100th race in the history of the FIA GT Championship, at the challenging and spectacular circuit of Dijon-Prenois, saw the Vitaphone Maserati of Thomas Biagi and Jamie Davies claim victory in GT1 ahead of the Race Alliance and Phoenix Aston Martin DBR9 cars,


while AF Corse’s Matteo Bobbi and Jaime Melo were victorious in GT2, leading an all-Ferrari trio of Scuderia Ecosse’s Mullen and Niarchos and the second AF Corse car of Salo and Aguas.


This thrilling race, in front of 16,000 delighted spectators, was the crowning glory in a weekend packed full of action, from the 100-race exhibition, starring the BMW Motorsport McLaren F1 GTR, through the VIP race experience laps for the public, the pit-stop challenge, a busy pit-stop and excellent on-track action in two frantic rounds of the FIA GT3 European Championship, excellent single-seater competition from the Formula Palmer Audi cars and a look into the past with the FIA Historic Racing Championships. A fantastic weekend, much appreciated by everyone, and a fitting way to celebrate one hundred FIA GT races.
