How a communications challenge at the 6HPortimao failed to stop Oliver Jarvis from bringing his UnitedAutosports entry home to class victoy ⬇️
A radio problem in the closing stages of the World Endurance Championship’s Portimao 6 Hours meant United Autosport’s 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.
