What the drivers said on Sunday at Le Mans

24 September 2018

Here’s what top drivers from Sunday’s races had to say at Le Mans once the dust settled down.

Race 3

Jochen Hahn – Team Hahn Racing | IVECO

“It feels good [to be a five-time champion], but first you must enjoy the races and fight with the competition. At the beginning of the season at Misano I felt that we’re really strong but I could only say that I’m going to win for the championship. Now I can say that I’m the champion and that feels nice. Coming to Le Mans I had 66 points over Adam [Lacko] so it felt good and I didn’t feel under a lot of pressure. But then again, you still must do it, avoid mistakes and win races.

We already began development for next season and it’s clear that we’re going to do it with IVECO for the next couple of years.”

André Kursim – Don’t Touch Racing | IVECO

“I had a good start and could take third place on the first lap. At the beginning, Steffi [Halm] was behind me and she was a little bit faster than me but Steffi had Norbi [Kiss] behind and they got busy fighting each other. That’s when I began to open up a little bit of a gap. Then Norbi came and I had to fight hard to keep that third place. We’re very happy. Yesterday was very good and today we’re very happy with third place again. Hopefully, we can do it again in the next race and keep that performance going into Jarama.”

Sascha Lenz – SL Trucksport | MAN

“We’re really happy with P2. I saw André coming but I managed to drive consistently and maintain a gap and we’re really happy. I do not look at the points [standings] I just look at the performance during the weekend. We have one race left here and four next weekend at Jarama and after the last race we’re going to look at the points table. We’ve made a big step forward this year and that’s important.”
