United Autosports won the Portimao WEC round in the LMP2 class despite a radio problem late in the race. Oliver Jarvis said the issue meant he had to 'think for himself' and take the car safely to the chequered flag.
A radio problem in the closing stages of the World Endurance Championship’s Portimao 6 Hours meant United Autosports' Oliver Jarvis “had to think for myself” to secure the LMP2 victory.Jarvis, Josh Pierson and Giedo van der Garde beat team-mates Phil Hanson, Freddie Lubin and Ben Hanley by 0.68s in Portugal on Sunday, despite Jarvis needing to rely on pitboard communication from his team during his closing double stint.
“It wasn’t an easy race,” explained Jarvis, who had lost a likely win last time out in Sebring due to a freak problem as the in-car camera was shaken loose by the circuit’s famous bumps and knocked the kill switch. “It’s not easy with the safety car procedures and then you’re trying to work out the fuel save,” he said.
“But at the same time every lap you stay out is a risk, so I knew by staying out my neck was on the line, but I wanted the win.”
