2004 FIA GT Donington 500km

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Layout of the Donington Park

The 2004 FIA GT Donington 500 km was the sixth round of the 2004 FIA GT Championship season. It took place at the Donington Park, United Kingdom, on 27 June 2004.

Several competitors from the British GT Championship participated in this event, although the TVR Tuscans were required to run in a separate special class due to the cars not meeting N-GT homologation requirements. The #5 Vitaphone Saleen overtook the #17 JMB Ferrari for the lead, then quickly built up a gap of 8 seconds. In the last lap at the chicane, the #5 had come together with the #99 Porsche and the former suffered a puncture. The damage to the Saleen was enough to lose the win as Jaime Melo retook the lead in the final corner. Matteo Bobbi was able to unlap the #17 Ferrari on the final corner as well and gained a lap advantage.
