LEGENDS CAR – Zandvoort 🇳🇱

Dramatic finish at Zandvoort! Jari Penttinen wins by just 0.090 seconds, after losing all the gap he had in the last few minutes, probably to save some fuel. At the end, Michal Janak almost got him, but the Finn took his first win in the championship. 2nd place for Janak, who had a contact at the start. 3rd place for Robert Duplantier, for the first time with the Legends car he didn’t win a race. 4th place for Philip Clegg, ahead of Rob Russo.

FORMULA STUDENTS EVO – Calabogie Stadium 🇨🇦

Not a crazy race like the past ones with the Formula Students, who saw Martin Smith winning ahead of David Broomhead by 0.9 seconds, who took the pole position. 3rd place for Jay Gabriel, in front of Pasha Paterson who had a good battle with Russell Sobie (6th) and Juan Illanes. The 2nd place for Broomhead and the not optimal 6th place of Sobie leaves the Canadian on the top of the standings with 21 points, meaning that he needs just to finish a race in 9th place without incidents to win his 6th title. 3rd place for Rob Russo who still hasn’t got a single incidet during all the championship, 2 points ahead of Jay Gabriel. P5 for Paterson, 9 points behind Jay. VIR North will be the track for the last race of the championship!

He also got 2 incidents, meaning that technically looking at the points Lucas Biberacher got a 2nd place despite finishing 4th. 5th place for Danny Mueller.

MITSUBISHI LANCER EVO VIII TIME ATTACK – Imola 🇮🇹

Christopher Magan takes his first ever win on SRS in an impressive way! Started 5th, he was second until Philip Clegg stopped for fuel at the end, giving him a victory in front of Lucas Biberacher! 4th place for Michael Martin ahead of Michael Post. Just 6th Robert Duplantier, who lost a lot of points thanks also to an incident at the start. After this round, Duplantier leads by just 9 points on Clegg, meaning that he has just to finish cleanly on the podium to win the championship, and 15 on Biberacher. 4th place for Martin. 5th place for Christopher Magan, it’s a shame that he missed last week’s race. Mugello will be the last round of the championship!

A radical race for the championship!

David Iglesias won the race 5 seconds ahead of Antonio Massad, followed closely by Riley Gallardo, both with an incident, and out of the podium Sergio Mendez and Jari Penttinen. This race had a great loss, since Simon Speth missed the race losing many places.

GT3 EURO – Calabogie 🇨🇦

Calabogie isn’t a fan-favourite track especially with GT3 cars. Only two races were done through the week, and Matteo Venuti, with the old McLaren, and Fredrik Soderstedt (Audi) were the winners of them. The championship now has changed again. Not at the top though, since Fredrik Soderstedt is leading the championship with the maximum amount of points (510). 2nd place for Victor Posada, with 492 points and 4 wins. 3rd place for Matteo Venuti, who managed to win a race in front of the championship leader (yes, he spun three times). 4th place for Lucas Biberacher, followed by Xavier Perronis. Spa-Francorchamps will host the final week of the championship!

GT3 ASIA – Nordschleife Endurance-Cup 🇩🇪

People were scared to race at the Nordschleife, so no races counted. Probably someone would prefer driving in the epileptic airport of Paul Ricard.

---

GT3 AMERICA – Laguna Seca 🇺🇸

A strange Laguna Seca race, with Luke Bouwmeester who dominated the race, finishing almost 40 seconds ahead of P2, Vicente da Silva. A great battle for the podium, who saw James Leeder taking the lowest step from Emiliano Videla, the championship leader. Now he has 39 points on Pasha Paterson (P5 in the race). 3rd place for Kevin Pruscha, who missed this week. Behind him there are Ryan Thomas and Ramiro Dominguez, who couldn’t compete in other weeks. VIR Full will be the track for the last race of the championship!
