Ford’s Spa win ‘a monkey off our backs,’ Johnson says

[dbk]

Saturday’s 6 Hours of Spa results sheet was littered with notable milestones, and one of the key ones didn’t come in LMP1 – which saw Fernando Alonso win on his WEC debut – but in GTE Pro.

Ford’s triumph in the hotly-contested 10-car class marked the No. 66 Chip Ganassi Team UK Ford GT’s first WEC race win. American driver Billy Johnson got to stand on the top step of the podium for the first time in the world championship as a result.

‘Monkey off their backs’ - I’ll say!

What a great showing at one of the most challenging of venues. That pass at Eau Rouge was just epic!!
