Suzuki GSX-R1000 podiums and increases EWC lead at Le Mans!

Team Suzuki Press Office – August 30.

Suzuki #endurance #racing Team: #gsxr1000 - (EWC Class) 3rd/ 1st in series.
No Limits Motor Team: #gsxr1000 – (Superstock Class) – 2nd/ 3rd in series.


Suzuki #endurance #racing Team has increased its lead in the 2019-2020 #endurance World Championship to 40 points after #racing to a third-place podium in the 43rd #LeMans 24 Hours race in France that finished today.

SERT and the Suzuki #gsxr1000 started the penultimate and revised #EWC series third round - held under closed doors at the Circuit Bugatti - with a 15-point advantage, qualifying third yesterday for the ‘closed-door’ race, and held for the first time without spectators due to the ongoing Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.

From the start at 12:00hrs, Gregg Black made the holeshot, and then, after small crash in the early hours of the #Event, the team got back into the leading group with teammates Etienne Masson and Xavier Simeon keeping the pace up lap-by-lap.
By the fourth hour, and under changing weather conditions, SERT and the #gsxr1000 had moved up into second position, and throughout the night, under cold and windy conditions, settled into third place. Then at Hour 14 moved into second - a position they held for nine hours.
