GT Sport Working On Replacing Round

IMSA Performance had another good weekend

The GT Open race of the Donington GT Open ended with the same winners as yesterday. Patrick Pilet-Raymond Narac confirmed with a double win the excellent form of the IMSA Performance Porsche. With this third win, the French pair now join the fight for the title, together with Fässler-Camathias (Trottet Ferrari), today 2nd, and Lietz-Roda (Autorlando Porsche), today 3rd.

The Astons would finish 2-3 in the GTS class

Raymond Narac and Patrick Pilet gave the IMSA Performance team its second win in one week, winning against all odds the Pro-Am race of the Donington GT Open. The French pair started from the last position in the grid (the team having lost all of the qualifying times for using non-marked tires) and crossed the finishing line with a 29-seconds advantage over the Autorlando Porsche of Gião-Couceiro. A brilliant third position rewarde the efforts of Giacomo Ricci-Michele Rugolo (Advanced Ferrari).
