+ Result: Race 1, Spa-Francorchamps
Ethan Gialdini and Mikkel Njor scored their first outright GT2 European Series powered by Pirelli victory in dominant fashion, controlling the opening race from pole in their CMR Ginetta G56 GT2.
Gialdini made an early break from a dramatic start to successfully build a gap big enough over the chasing Antoine Potty to overcome the extra compensation time the car would have to serve on its mandatory pit stop following a class win at Monza, allowing Njor to control the second half.
It may have taken almost a full calendar year, but Philippe Prette’s Masters class winning streak finally came to an end after a stunning solo performance from series returnee Shota Abkhazava, who brought his ART-Line Lamborghini home a superb third overall.
The race proved another strong display for the twin CMR Ginettas, with the sister car of Lawrence Tomlinson and Mike Simpson also converting its Pro-Am pole into a class victory, doubling the team’s joy.
