GT Tour – Sofrev-ASP ​​wins, Team WRT stumbles on Raidillon

On the legendary Spa track, the winners of the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2014 experienced the same mishap at the end of the first round on the Spa circuit in Belgium for this third relocated round of the GT Tour. The two duettists from Audi in WEC made a mistake at the same place at the top of the Raidillon de l'Eau Rouge. It was first André Lotterer, associated with Enzo Ide, who was the first to go off course even though he was second behind the leaders Morgan Moullin-Traffort? Philippe Giauque on their Ferrari 458 Italia from Team Sofrev-ASP. A few moments later, it was the R8 of Benoît Tréluyer, who was racing with Yves Weerts, who also came out at the top of the famous bend. Both cars were able to restart but ended up outside the top 10. Previously, it was the GSE by DKR Engineering BMW Z4 which had exited at the same place, causing the safety car to enter.

So it's Ferrari which wins with the 458, reigning French champion, for the first victory of the year for the Moullin-Traffort duo? Giauque, in front of Sébastien's Audi R8 Loeb Racing by Henry Hassid and Mike Parisy and another German, that of David Hallyday and Grégory Guilvert. The Saintéloc Racing residents took advantage of the clash between Soheil Ayari (Team Duqueine) and Bruce Lorgère-Roux (Sport Garage) to climb to the last step of the podium. In the Coupe de France, it was the Duqueine Engineering Ferrari of the Colançon – Duqueine duo which won.

The second round will take place tomorrow morning.
