FERRARI 288 GTO – Magione (IT)

After an incredible race at Imola, the Ferrari 288 GTO Championship took the 2nd race at the slow/you can’t pass/stop’n go Magione. The race, as expected, was pretty boring, with just some action between a struggling Matteo Venuti, whose table was moving all around his quarantined house and Erwin Schneider, 6th. Anyway, Giuseppe Iaria won the race, in front of Robert Duplantier, Filip Stoyanovich and Michal Janak. The championship standings reflect the result of this race, with a close fight for the podium between Stoyanovich, Janak and Venuti separated by five points.

MCLAREN 650S GT3 – Daytona Road Course (US)

And it’s GT3 time once again, in the legendary Daytona circuit! For the 2nd time this week, David Iglesias wins the race, in front of Matteo Venuti, who was a bit off the pace since he choosed the mediums tires instead of the softs, used by Iglesias. 3rd place for Pedro Marques, who almost killed the Italian on the 3rd lap, spinning on the braking zone for turn 2. 4th place for Michael Post, followed by another Michael, Martin, who started in P15! The championship is like the top 5 of the race, just with Michael Martin in front of Post, for the 4th place.

PORSCHE BATTLE – Suzuka (JP)

2nd round of one of the strangest championship of the past years, with a 1974 car fighting against the same model of 41 years later. This time, the new Porsche won the race with James Leeder, in front of John Krahne, Don Debienne and Sean Seebran, with the old one. In the championship, Leeder leads the championship in front of David Broomhead, who had a disappointing race, finishing 8th. 4th place for Rick Longano in front of Sean Seebran.

LOTUS 49 – Nürburgring Betonschleife (DE)

Ok guys, be ready because this is absolutely crazy. The first race has been the craziest ever seen on SRS. The start was strange, with some cars that went straight into the others, especially Matteo Venuti and Michal Janak. The Italian did his drive-through, ending 4th after it, meanwhile Janak, like some other drivers, were victim of a bug that didn’t counted them the laps. In front the race was normal after it, with some action between Lukas Kessler, Rob Russo and Venuti. But, on the 13th lap, something strange happened. A lapped car crashed into the fences, spinning and crashing into Kessler. Then Venuti had WW2 vibes (even if his grandparents weren’t even born) and became a tank, pushing on his top the other car. After this, the Italian won the race, despite some backmarkers that almost crashed into him. 2nd place for Lukas Kessler and Rob Russo 3rd. The 2nd race was much more clean, with Robert Duplantier on top, followed by Rico Haas and Michal Janak. In the championship there’s a tight battle on the top 3, with Duplantier, Haas and Janak separated by 8 points. 4th place for Venuti and 5th Rob Russo.
