Ian Khan and Thomas Mutsch claim victory at Silverstone

The duo of Ian Khan and Thomas Mutsch, in the No.20 Matech GT Racing Ford GT, overcame first lap dramas to storm through the field and take a fine victory in an action-packed first round of the 2008 FIA GT3 Championship at Silverstone.

They took the lead with only four laps remaining, and took the chequered flag ahead of the No.36 Prospeed Racing Porsche 997 GT3 Cup S of Mikael Forsten and David Loix, and the No.17 Brixia Racing Aston Martin DBRS9 of Gianluca Giraudi and Marcello Zani.
