The first points race of the ILMS 2010 era was held today at Spa. This was also the first race in the CMS Divisional Challenge. This new series pits the drivers of the North American Division against the drivers from the World Division for CMS bragging rights. Drivers earn individual points for the series but also earn team points for finishing in the top five in their respective class. Ian Mill's making his debut in the Accura P1 entry decimated the field taking Pole, Fastest lap and the overall race win. Mark Bos, lining up 2nd on the grid took the lead of the event in the early laps, before a disconection took him out the race. Anders Nilsson took Pole in P2 class and led the class until a rare mistake. Phil Roberts took p2 in GT and a slight mistake at T1 put him out in a heavy crash.
Ian Mills, pictured above, lead the field of 22 and went on to take the overall win in his LMP1 Acura. The 2.4 hour event had some great racing and put the drivers and their machines to the test. Formula Racing maintain the unbeaten record at Spa this season, taking 4 wins, 4 poles from 4 events. The team now moves back across the pond for the World Division, Road America race on the 12th of March.

The Formula Racing Endurance LMP2 team headed for Spain and the tight, fast Catalyunya track that was hosting round 8 of the ILMS ERL Series. Our leading entry the #32 car driven by the English Hard Charging Robert Fakes and Anders Nillson had a good qualifying session, with Robert putting the teams Acura car into the top 10, Rob, was amazing, the only one of the Acura's to be there at this track which strongly favoured the Dome S101 P2 with its higher downforce and less drag. From the Start Robert was able to run fast, consistent laps on the Hard tyre option which was gaining the team 20 seconds in each pitstop to the Domes and a key part of the teams strategy.
