Bobby K concludes busy week with second ELMS win

Robert Kubica capped off a busy week of driving on Sunday, the Pole clinching at the Red Bull Ring his second successive win in the European Le Mans Series with Team WRT.

The Alfa Romeo Racing reserve driver had traveled to Austria straight from two days of 18-inch tyre testing at Barcelona with the Swiss outfit and Pirelli.

Kubica joined his Orlen WRT championship leading teammates Louis Deletraz and Yifei Yi for four hours of hard racing in mixed conditions onboard their Oreca-Gibson that saw the trio come out once again on top.

And Bobby K was more than happy to savour the bubbly!

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
