Despite starting from the back of the grid, the regular drivers the Czech Jarek Janis and the Dutch Tom Coronel achieved the best season's result - they took the second place on the winners' podium.

According to Victor Muller, the CEO of Spyker Cars, this is one of the best results of the team ever in the Le Mans Series. “It is a great sason; things cannot go wrong anymore. We had a fifth place at Le Mans and now a second place here at the Nurburgring. Years of hard work were finally rewarded. The car was flawless. I am extremely proud of the team and I think they have achieved something incredible”, V. Muller said.

“It's a dream. The result came at the right time. I think this was the hardest race I have ever driven. I gave everything I could, I really couldn't go faster”, said Tom Coronel.

“I am very happy; it was a great weekend for us. The car was working very well. Unfortunately, we had to start from the back, but during the race our lap times were pretty good and so we went to the front step by step. I have to say thanks to the team, my engineer and the mechanics, they did a great job. The car is getting better at every race and it is easy and nice to drive this car”, said Jarek Janis.
