Creventic Endurance Championship Rennen 2 03.05.2025 12h Spa-Francorchamps
Tough race / Strong comeback
Free practice session
We were able to build up a very strong pace in preparation for the race. We were fast and knew we had the pace to keep up with the podium places.
Qualifying
Qualifying was not entirely on our side. Unfortunately, we didn’t manage a perfect lap and qualified in 8th place with a 02:28.767.
Not the starting position we had hoped for, but we knew that our strength lay in race pace and not qualifying pace.
Rennen
The start of the race went quite well for us. We were able to attack on the first lap and make up a position.
Shortly afterwards, however, the tide turned. We were hit in the rear by a Gt3 (car not in our class) above Au Rouge and catapulted into the wall at full speed. Our entire rear end was damaged, which is why we had to come into the pit lane early to repair the damage.
It was a very frustrating moment for all of us, as there was nothing we could have done to prevent the accident. It was just a bad situation and the GT3 had seen us too late.
After the unscheduled stop, we came back into the race in 12th place, one lap down on 11th place, but we didn’t give up and continued the race, gradually fighting our way back up to 11th, then 10th and finally 9th.
After 12 adrenalin-fuelled hours, we were able to finish the race in 7th place. We dropped back to 4th place in the championship, but it could definitely have been worse.
