End of season atmosphere at Magny Cours where the 11th and 12th races of the French GT Championship were scheduled. For the First Racing crew of David Tuchbant / Antonie Leclerc in the #54 Lamborghini Gallardo GT3 extreme tension was order of the day. The two French drivers were among the top favourites to take the GT3 Championship. Acting as wing men were team mates Briche / Dubreuil and three other Gallardos from Ruffier Racing with Ruffier / Peyroles, Cabanne / Helary and Miloe / Miloe at the wheel.

While the title candidates carefully and coolly picked their way around the circuit at Nevers, Briche / Dubreuil and Ruffier / Peyroles turned heads by posting top times initially in free practice and then also in qualifying. In first qualifying on Saturday, which determined the starting grid for the race in the afternoon, Ruffier / Peyroles claimed third position in the GT3 class in their Gallardo. Tuchbant / Leclerc would start the 60 minute race from sixth position.

The race itself evolved into a hard but clean fight. Bruno Dubreuil and Julien Briche led the way for the Lamborghini camp. They triumphed over the powerful Ford GT and Ferrari 430 and won by
2.9 seconds from the following competition. Tuchbant / Leclerc took fifth position in the race that ended in darkness and, in doing so, kept the championship battle alive going into the final race of the season on Sunday. Ruffier / Peyroles also came home in the points in 8th place.

The result of the twelfth race made a correspondingly impressive impression on the championship. Arnaud Peyroles and James Ruffier took a fantastic seventh place overall and finished the 41 lap race ahead of the technically superior and faster GT2 cars. David Tuchbant / Antonie Leclerc completed the perfect podium in second place. This podium finish also gave the First Racing drivers the French GT3 Championship for themselves and Lamborghini.

The fight for the championship runner-up spot was decided in favour of Lamborghini drivers over the final metres. Victory on Sunday pushed Ruffier / Peyroles past the Ferrari of Moreau / Parisy to give them the runner-up spot! As a result, both customer teams were able to place a car at the top of the championship standings.

A total of four Lamborghini Gallardo teams were classified in the top-ten of the championship at the end.
