Olympic track sprint multiple champion Sir Chris Hoy found himself back on the top step of a podium again at the weekend, after taking a class victory in the opening round of the 2015 European Le Mans Series event at Silverstone on Saturday with driving partner Charlie Robertson.

Hoy and 18-year-old team-mate Robertson won the LMP3 class in their Nissan car, built by Ginetta. Robertson started things off before Hoy drove the middle section of the four-hour event, with Robertson back in the driver's seat for the finale.
