Pasin Lathouras recorded another strong performance as Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup pitched up at Silverstone in England last weekend.

Finishing in sixth place and grabbing a useful chunk of championship points for the second consecutive race kept the 24-year-old Thai driver well positioned in the classification as the series now prepares to tackle the two long distance classics on this year's calendar.

Pasin was as usual sharing the No.50 AF Corse Ferrari 488 GT3 with Italian teammates Michele Rugolo and Alessandro Pier Guidi in the pro class with the trio coming very quickly off the back of the second-place finish that was achieved during the season opener, the 3 Hours of Monza, just three weeks ago.

The objective in the UK would be to score as many championship points as possible and defend their position on the leaderboard.

The trio got the job done and they received eight points at Silverstone and are now third overall.

Pasin said: "I'm pleased with the result. Where we are with the car at the moment in terms of speed means that's as good a result as we could expect."

The next races are two long distance ones -- the Paul Ricard 1000km from June 23-24 June and the 24 Hours of Spa from July 27-30.

Pasin has enjoyed success in both races. Last year he finished runner-up at Paul Ricard in the pro class while the year before he won the 24 Hours of Spa in the pro-am category.
