Hayek-Knox Duo takes the podium at Silverstone; 4 races down, 2 to go
In what must be making for a spectacular thrill-filled summer for Blancpain President Mark A. Hayek and his team, Blancpain continues to “roll on” “roar on” through the 6-race Lamborghini Super Trofeo circuit as only a 570 horsepower decked out Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 can. Have a look for yourself!
Hayek and team are turning out to be quite the brand ambassadors and are generating great publicity for the event not to mention the Blancpain brand – of course being the lead sponsor also helps 
As well, Blancpain continues to get great “mileage” (bad pun? sorry) for its limited edition Blancpain Super Trofeo Chronograph watches, pictured below. The exclusive Blancpain Super Trofeo Chronographs feature a DLC-treated steel case featuring a design inspired by the front profile of the Lamborghini Gallardo and is fitted with a strap made from alcantara – just like the Gallardo upholstery. Pretty cool, eh?
As for the Silverstone race, says Hayek:
“I am particularly proud of competing on the historic Silverstone track. The world’s greatest champions have raced here, and the whole place is pervaded by a competitive spirit that extends well beyond the track itself! This challenge is all the more stimulating in that the race course is extremely fast and very demanding.”
So what’s next? Well, given that the six event 2009 Lamborghini Super Trofeo is now 4 races down, we can all look forward to the season’s last two events which are to be held at Catalunya (Spain) on September 18th-20th, and on the Paul Ricard track (France) from October 2nd to 4th.
