On Saturday Ingo Hoffmann and Paulo Bonifacio scored valuable points in the fight for South America’s only GT3 championship. After five events in Curitiba, Sáo Paulo, Brasilia and Rio de Janeiro Hoffmann / Bonifacio also hold third place in the drivers’ championship standings. With three races still to run and 60 points to be awarded the Gallardo drivers are still on course to take the title. Hoffmann / Bonifacio have claimed five podium finishes and one victory.
The penultimate round of the French GT Championship was also on the agenda. In qualifying the Ruffier Racing and First Racing squads were hot on the heels of the favourite Ferrari and Dodge entries. However, the races would tell a different story.
The ADAC GT Masters competitors met for the sixth time this season, this time at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz. Lamborghini drivers qualified on the front row for both races. Frank Schmickler (ARGO Racing) managed this feat in first qualifying, Christopher Haase (team flatex reiter) in second qualifying.
