One of the most popular podium appearances today came from the Robertson Racing Ford who claimed a podium finish in the GT AM class on debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The husband and wife team were joined by David Murry for their Le Mans debut – a huge undertaking for the small team based in Braselton.

Having previously scored a pole position in the GT class for Petit Le Mans – today’s opportunity to stand on the most famous podium in international sports car racing probably topped that effort.

“We are as happy as can be. From day one I honestly thought we had a chance in this class, which is why we entered it,” David Robertson said.

“We are not the fastest, and I know we have a lot of progress to make, but if the team could work together and have a mistake-free run I always believed this was feasible. We just kept going for 24 hours.

“We are so glad to be here, but wouldn’t be were it not for the fantastic group of people in the garage and back in Braselton.

“This is for them. It’s also great to be the first husband and wife on the podium and it makes it even more special that it’s our anniversary. The only problem is I’ve no idea how to top this next year!”
