ETC Black Cup 2008 - Round 1 GT Sport

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

Race 1 of round 1 is completed as the GT Sports class took on the Nürburgring GP circuit.

Andreas Löffler (Degan Simracing) was on pole ahead of Luwig Ghidi (Team GG).
Löffler managed to keep the lead the opening lap but a disconnection would ruined his race only a few laps in. Teammate Oliver Wickens also suffered a disconnetion that would result in a dissapointing ETC debut for Degan Simracing. Ghidi on the other hand had a fault free race and would dissapear into the distance.

Behind him there would be more fighting going on as positions changed throughout the race but in the end Antoine Morin would make it a double for Team GG despite having trouble in the opening stages of the race.
3rd place would in the end go to Henk van der Meulen from the Flat Out Club.

Mikael Hellen (The Black Rebels) would end up in 4th after a 2 stop stratedgy that didn’t pay off as well as he had hoped. in the end he finished only 1 second behind v d Meulen. 5th would go the Alessandro Mura, driving for The Burning Tyres.

The race however was overshadowed a bit by disconnections that the league organizors are looking into.
