The race ace and his team mates took the chequered flag in Austin, Texas after a race-long battle with Pro-Am title rivals Aston Martin Racing.

It came down to the final 30 minutes of the six-hour event, following tremendous stints from 35-year-old Adam, Salih Yoluç and Charlie Eastwood in the #90 Aston Martin Vantage GTE.

At no point was the result certain, but superb performances from the team and drivers alike ultimately resulted in a fight to the flag and a valuable championship point haul with three rounds remaining.

The result moves the TF Sport outfit to second in the WEC Pro Am standings, just two points shy of the championship leaders heading to the next round at Sebring.

Adam said: “It was a great race and one we needed after the misfortune in Bahrain.

“The car really came alive today in race conditions and was right in the peak window of performance.

“All three of us had fights with the #98 on track and I really enjoyed my battle with Darren.

“My second stint was even better in terms of the car speed, and then I got to watch Charlie tussle it out with Ross for the race win, just as GT racing should be. Two identical cars fighting for the win.

He added: “We couldn’t have asked for more, a great team effort all around.”
