Starting for Ultimate Motorsport , he was mostly inferior to his teammate Miguel Molina and was 26th in the overall standings at the end of the season. He started for Comtec Racing on the last race weekend , as Ultimate Motorsport had withdrawn before the end of the season. He also competed in a Formula Atlantic race and with his father in the Silverstone 1000 km race of the Le Mans Series .
In 2010 , Mansell contested his second season in the World Series by Renault for Comtec Racing as a team-mate of Monegasque Stefano Coletti .
