Florian Scholze-Jens Liebhauser double Am class glory for GetSpeed Another maiden win in the International GT Open: Race 2 at the Hungaroring, in
another very warm day, was authoritatively taken by Louis Prette and Vincent Abril,
in the AF Corse APM Monaco Ferrari 488. After the bad luck yesterday, the duo racing
under Monegasque banner and managed by Stéphane Ortelli had a faultless race,
winning ahead of Fabian Schiller-‘Max’ (GetSpeed Performance Mercedes), who took
first in Pro-Am, and Salih Yoluç-Charlie Eastwood (TF Sport Aston Martin Vantage),
with Schiller and Yoluç having a very entertaining duel in the closing phases.
Hahn-Khodair (TMM McLaren) repeated second in Pro-Am, ahead of Sattler-Bastian
(HTP Winward Mercedes), while in Am, Florian Scholze-Jens Liebhauser gave
GetSpeed Performance a second win this weekend, preceding Niki Leutwiler (PZ Ob.
Zürichsee by TFT Porsche) and the ARC Bratislava Lamborghini of Miro KonopkaZdeno Mikulasko.
THE RACE – At the start, Khodair keeps the advantage of the pole, preceding the
other TMM McLaren of Chaves, then Abril, Eastwood, Bastian, Crestani and Mikulasko.
The first phases are relatively quiet, but worth to note is that Krupinski climbs back
to 10th from last in the grid, as yesterday’s winning JP Mercedes suffered from overheating in Q2.
By lap 10, things are pretty much the same with the top-5 (Khodair, Chaves, Abril,
Eastwood and Bastian) covered by only six seconds. In 7th overall, Mikulasko keeps in
the lead of the class Am ahead of Liebhauser. The window for driver change opens in
lap 14, with Crestani being the first to stop.
After all changes, Louis Prette quickly takes the lead and builds a 7-second advantage
on Yoluç, who is followed by Hahn, Ramos, Schiller, Sattler and Mettler, with the first
seven covered by 16 seconds. Follows Scholze, who has taken the Am lead from
Konopka.
The following laps show a great show of Schiller, who passes Ramos in lap 27 and then
Hahn (lap 30) while Prette has brought to 10 seconds his advantage on Yoluç. Schiller
seems unstoppable and eventually steals second from Yoluç in last lap after a very
close fight. In Am, Scholze wins ahead of Leutwiler and Mikulasko.
