Only one Gallardo took part at the second meeting of the EGTS Peroni series. Basso / Mocci took pole in qualifying and the class win in race one on Saturday. On Sunday they missed the podium with fourth place in class.
Strong competitors did not make it easy for the MIK Corse drivers Gianpaolo Fattori / Pablo Pinato and Gianmaria Gabbiani / Fabio Spatafora in the opening race of the International GT Open in Vallelunga. Gianmaria Gabbiani at least was able to beat some of the Viper teams and took third position on the starting grid. The first 32-lap race on Saturday ended with fifth place for Fattori / Pinato and seventh position for Gabbiani / Spatafora in the GTS class. On Sunday they finished in fourth and fifth place after 26 laps.
S.Berg Racing tested two Gallardos at Brno in real racing conditions right before the first weekend of the FIA-GT3 European Championship. In qualifying the Gallardos with Danis / Dabrota / Janis and Urban / Urban / Janis reached fourth and fifth positions for the starting grid. In the three hour race they had to fight against stronger DTM and GT2 cars, but Janis / Urban / Urban finished in the Top10 overall.
Prince Albert von Turn und Taxis drove his first race of the year at the Nürburgring in the Dutch Supercar Challenge. After a crash in race one, when another competitor pushed his Gallardo into the gravel, von Turn und Taxis had to start the second race from 32nd place on the grid. But the 23-year-old from Regensburg managed to finish the Sunday race in fifth place and left some Ferrari 430 and Porsche 911 race cars behind him. His next appearance on the race track will be the first race of the new ADAC GT Masters, again at the Nürburgring at the beginning of June.
In addition to the Long Distance Championship, S.Berg also raced in the Sprint Series, held too at the Brno circuit. Both Gallardos finished in the Top10 overall in sixth and tenth places.
Fabien Giroix took the right decision to engage the young Frenchman Nicolas Navarro as a substitute for Cyril Helias in one of his First Racing Lamboghinis. In his first ever qualifying session for the French GT championship, Navarro took pole for race 1 in Ledenon. He continued his good performance on Saturday, when Navarro / Giroix finished in second position in the GT3 category.
