Frustrating Blancpain season closing at Barcelona for the Belgian Audi Club Team WRT

It was not to be: the Blancpain GT Series season ended on a sour note for the Belgian Audi Club Team WRT, who went to Barcelona for the last round of the Endurance Cup still with chances to conquer the Drivers’ and Teams’ titles in both the Endurance Cup and the overall competition. Unfortunately, a very difficult race, marred with safety-car and full-yellow-courses in its second part, on a track where overtaking proved challenging, ended with no rewards. Christopher Mies-Àlex Riberas-Dries Vanthoor were bound to at least a fourth position, which would have been not sufficient but would have been a nice consolation, but had to serve a last-minute drive-through, while car #17 of Stuart Leonard-Sheldon Van der Linde-Robin Frijns retired following damage after a race incident.

The European season is now over, but the team is fully determined to do well in the remaining international outings of 2018.
