GPX Racing dominates first tests at Spa

The Optimum Motorsport team summed up Tuesday's day best on Twitter. “Today’s weather forecast: Spa. Just Spa. If you know, you know. » During this first test session, the 48 competitors present were able to adapt their settings to almost everything they might encounter during the 24 Hours of Spa, namely day, night, rain, dry, the dryer…

In this little game, Porsche of GPX Racing was the fastest with a time of 2'18"337. She was ahead of the Boutsen Ginion Racing BMW entered in Pro-Am by 592 thousandths and the Tech 863 Lexus entered in the Silver Cup by 1 thousandths.

The French team had also taken the lead after the afternoon session. A priori free of her black cat, she will be one to watch closely during the race, including the overall.

The other Porsche from GPX Racing took fourth place, followed by the Mercdes from JP Motorsport and the Lamborghini from FFF Racing Team.

No major incident disrupted today's session, where some cars drove a lot. The prize goes to Boutsen Ginion Racing who completed 111 laps in total. The #55 Attempto Racing Audi and both Ferrari of Rinaldi Racing and AF Corse also completed more than a hundred laps. Conversely, the team's Bentley M-Sport only lined up six rounds.

Remember that not all the cars entered in the 24 Hours of Spa are present during the two test days, since teams can only bring one car. Some have also been selected in the United States for the 8 Hours of Indianapolis which takes place this weekend.

The second day of testing takes place this Wednesday with two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
