The European Le Mans Series returned to Silverstone this September, bringing with it a weekend of endurance racing, unpredictable weather, and the return of one of motorsport’s most iconic circuits to the ELMS calendar. Fans filled the grandstands as the Goodyear 4 Hours of Silverstone delivered spectacle, strategy, and drama in true endurance fashion.
Among the standout performances was Richard Mille by AF Corse in the LMGT3 category. Starting deep in the field, the No. 50 Ferrari worked through treacherous wet conditions to seize victory, earning the title of “rain masters.” Their composure and adaptability highlighted the resilience required to succeed when rain, red flags, and shifting strategies defined the race.
The timing of Silverstone’s return to ELMS comes at a pivotal stage in the championship. With the season heading toward its finale in Portimão, the LMGT3 standings now see Richard Mille AF Corse holding a crucial advantage, while LMP2 and LMP3 titles remain fiercely contested. The Silverstone result not only showcased endurance racing’s depth but also reshaped the championship outlook.
From the rain-soaked tarmac of Silverstone to the sun-drenched circuits still to come, the weekend marked a contrast between chaos and precision. As the championship builds toward its conclusion, all eyes now turn to Portimão, where the season’s ultimate test will decide its champions.
