Overall - 22nd
In class - 10th

Driving order: Ralf➡️ Zhou

The first race ended quite early for the team. The start was a tad hectic with multiple collisions and unfortunatey the car received a puncture so they had to DNF.

Ralf had an epic start to the second race and immediately began to pull away from the pack, maintaining the lead. With just over 26 mins left Ralf pitted to swap with Zhou. A FCY was called with 23 mins left to go due to debris on the track. Green flag conditions returned with 14 mins left to go with Zhou still in the lead. With 6 mins remaining Zhou was spun around by the No. 4 car and dropped down to 22nd (10th in class). With 20 seconds left to go Zhou had moved up to 17th (9th in class). At the chequered flag Zhou finished in 14th (9th in class) but received a drive through penalty for causing a collision which dropped them down to 22nd (10th in class).

The results don’t fully reflect the hard work that both the drivers and the team did this weekend so hopefully they have better luck next round 🥹🩶
