This week is all about Spa, but after the first round of the 2016 FIA World Endurance Championship at Silverstone there are several milestones to acknowledge.
Here is your quick guide to those who achieved their 'best', or their 'first', a few weeks ago:

· First fastest race lap (in class) for Extreme Speed Motorsports
· Porsche’s fastest lap in GTE Am means that its has overtaken Ferrari and Aston Martin for the most fast laps in the class.
· Gianmaria Bruni’s fastest lap in GTE Pro (No.51 AF Corse) means that he has equalled with Stefan Mücke for the most fast laps in the class.
· René Rast (No.26 G-Drive Racing), Davide Rigon (No.71 AF Corse), and Klaus Bachler (No.88 Abu Dhabi Proton Racing) each set the best qualifying laps in their respective classes, the first time that each has done so.
