Loris Spinelli and Max Weering become 2022 PRO Class Champions of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe thanks to the success obtained in Race 1 in Barcelona.
Under the hot sun of Catalonia, the couple from Bonaldi Motorsport closes the games early with another concrete test, which could have unexpected implications due to two Safety Cars intervened during the 50 ‘of battles on the track.
The first was called into question immediately after the start, when Adrian Lewandowski’s car (GT3 Poland) was hit by a rival and got stuck in the middle of the line at Turn 10.
The second, on the other hand, was actually a double neutralization because first the grouping was needed due to the silting up of Filippo Berto (Oregon Team) at turn 4 during the 14th lap (-23’30 “on the clock), but while everyone was about to resume fighting – since the SC was about to return to the pits – here is that Pierre Feligioni (Boutsen Racing) ran into the trivial mistake of distracting himself, ending up ruining the innocent Holger Harmsen (GT3 Poland) at the turn 5, knocking both out
In those situations the pit-stop window had closed and, surprisingly, Amaury Bonduel had come out in command; unfortunately for the BDR-Group PROM driver an infringement was found on the minimum stop time, so the 30 “added to his final time trial drove him down to 17th place, despite the fact that he had crossed the finish line first.
The success therefore goes to Spinelli and Weering, with the Italian able as usual to lengthen in the first part and then give the wheel to his teammate for the final management.
Moretti / Teekens (Target Racing) are in the square of honor, in the first part behind the Huracan of Kodric / Mur (Bonaldi), slipped to the rear giving way to Lennart / Keilwitz to give the third place overall to the Lamboghini Stuttgart by Target team .
A good fourth place brought him home Tribaudini / D’Auria (VSR), while in a fiery final that saw several overtaking and changes of position in the last two free laps after the Safety Car, Formanek / Basz grabbed the absolute Top5 going to take the success of the PRO / AM Class, where Liberati / Ryba centered second place on their debut with the Lamborghini of the Brutal Fish Racing Team, a team that until a few months ago played in the world of TCR.
In front of the latter, Rodrigo Testa De Sousa is sixth in the general classification with the Rexal-FFF car, eighth climbs Sebastian Freymuth (AKF Motorsport) with a remarkable comeback from the initial 16th position.
The ninth place achieved with a rise of applause goes to Watzinger / Gosselin (Leipert Motorsport) the third step of the PRO / AM podium, mocking Wells / Lee (Rexal-FFF) and Ciglia / Williamson (Oregon Team).
Andrzej Lewandowski gives VSR the triumph in the AM Class, beating the Leipert cars driven by Yury and Louis Wagner, and Gabriel Rindone in a sprint.
Finally, in the LC Cup a party for François Grimm (Boutsen Racing) ahead of Gerard Van Der Horst and teammate Daniel Waszczinski.
