After a four-hour warm-up race on Saturday, the Lamera Cup field tackled the main event today: an eight-hour marathon on the demanding MotorLand Aragón circuit. The drivers had to contend with mechanical wear and tear, physical fatigue, and race strategies severely tested by the weather on the 5,344 km Spanish track! While the uncertain skies eventually gave way to a mostly dry track for the start, a torrential downpour two hours from the finish reminded everyone that a race is never over until the checkered flag! But whether the asphalt was dry or soaking wet, the battle on the track was nothing short of explosive.
