After 10 grueling hours racing, the little Creation Autosportif Team from the UK beat off a race-long charge from rivals Playstation Pescarolo Sport to finish an excellent 3rd place in the prestigious Mil Milhas endurance event, marking the final round of the Le Mans Series for 2008.

Joined by quick Englishman Stuart Hall for the event, Creation regulars Jamie Campbell-Walter (Scotland)and Felipe Ortiz (Switzerland) were quickly at home in their familiar surroundings and Hall adapted very quickly to the factory Creation CA07-Judd chassis, having driven a Pescarolo chassis all year for rival privateer British team 'Rollcentre Racing'. Though unable to challenge the superior factory backed Peugeot entries Jamie stamped his authority on qualifying for the 'rest' of the field, ending up almost a full second faster than the usually quick Jean-Christophe Boullion (France) in the factory Pescarolo.

Despite a brief threat of 'Sao Paulo' rain on race morning, the entire 374 lap International event was run in dry, warm conditions. Jamie took the start, staying with the Peugeots for a few laps before settling into race rhythm, and trading places with Boullion in the Pescarolo and Michael Vergers (Holland) in the Barazi Gulf Zytek P2. Everything seemed settled until just before 2 hours. Felipe (Ortiz) had been in the car no more than a handful of laps when he made an unscheduled pit stop. It transpired that he was clipped by a slower GT2 Porsche so he chose to make a stop to check for damage. Nothing was found and he resumed the race in 4th position. Then just after 2 hours, Boullion appeared on the Tv screens, the Pescarolo limping around with a lot of smoke coming from the front corner. Once in the pits the team wheeled the car into the garage and set about changing the front suspension wishbone. This proved a costly failure for the French team as they slipped back to the foot of the running order.

After these early incidents the race was very much trouble-free for Creation. Slick, faultless pit stops from the crew coupled with the drivers maintaining an excellent pace with much discipline and consistency mean't for an excellent outcome. Despite the Pescarolo team's late charge it wasn't enough to close the 5 lap cushion. Ex-Creation driver Nic Minassian (France) and team mate Marc Gene (Spain) took race honours from their team mates (Pedro Lamy-Portugal / Stephane Sarrazin-France).

This event marked Creation's 3rd consecutive race away from home and in turn their 3rd podium finish in a row. This one was special however. The team proved their worth with a new car, still under development in the ALMS races, and importantly proved consistent reliability, pace and discipline to be the 'best' of the LMP1 petrol cars, in the Le Mans Series.
