  • On the turnstile of the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia (Spain), the GT3 pack competed in its first race of the GT World Challenge Europe meeting in the Sprint Cup this Saturday, September 16. After a stormy start, these are the references of the discipline, Raffaele Marciello and Timur Bogulavskiy (Mercedes-AMG) who won.
  • The crew of the French team AKKODIS-ASP managed by Jérôme Policand took the lead thanks to driver changes midway through the race. This is the fourth victory in 2023 for Marciello-Bogulavskiy, who consolidates his lead as championship leader.
