Fantastic podium at the 24 hours of Spa! ///

 01.08.2018

Great result for David Fumanelli and Strakka Racing at the 70th edition of the 24 hours fo Spa Francorchamps!

In the probably most difficult and competitive edition ever, with more than 60 cars from 13 different brands, car #42 crew on its Mercedes AMG GT3 grabbed the 2nd place in Pro Am class and an impressive 17th place overall.

A result built in the early stages of the race, where thanks to an aggressive race strategy, David and his team mates were able to grab the lead and keep it for 18 hours. In this way they secured the point in the 6 and 12 hours marks, valid for championship’s points.

They only had to give up in the end due to an engine power loss, that probably cost the win. But thanks to this result now Strakka Racing car #42 is leading the Pro Am standings and is still in the fight for the Intercontinental GT Challenge.
What a rollercoaster of emotions! Surely one of the best moments of my career. It was a very intense and though race both physically and mentally. Being second in the biggest GT race in the world is just fantastic! I want to thank the team and my team mates for a perfect job during the whole weekend, it wasn’t easy.
