Two victories and two titles. The International GT Open season has been successfully completed for Lamborghini. Andrea Rizzoli and Damiano Fioravanti took the first GT Open victory of the year for the #12 Ombra Racing Lamborghini at the end of race 1; #25 Imperiale Racing duo, Riccardo Agostini and Rik Breukers, grabbed race 2 win. The second win of the weekend for Lamborghini also sanctioned the success of Imperiale Racing in the Teams’ standings.

Kimi Raikkonen won an intense battle against his Mercedes rival in one of the races of the season as his one-stop strategy ensured he kept team-mate Sebastian Vettel’s slim title hopes alive.

Mikkel Mac is the 2018 International GT Open Champion! A second, together with Alessandro Pier Guidi, was enough for the Dane of the Luzich Racing Ferrari, to secure the crown, beating Fran Rueda-Andrés Saravia (Teo Martín BMW), who finished fourth today. At the end of a fantastic season, Mac was clearly happy: “It’s a fantastic day, where we finished a job well done throughout the season, and I really want to share the success with the entire Luzich team, my team mates Pier Guidi and Cioci, because it’s the title of all of us”.

BMW Hat-trick in the VLN: Christopher Rink, Danny Brink and Phillipp Leisen (all GER) have secured overall victory in the VLN Endurance Championship Nürburgring (GER) with the Pixum Team Adrenalin Motorsport #490 BMW 325i. This means that a BMW car has topped the overall standings for the third consecutive time, as the winner from the last two seasons had driven a BMW M235i Racing. It marks the 16th title for BMW. The trio rounded off a great season, securing the V4 class victory in the final race of the season at the Nordschleife. “I can still hardly believe what we have achieved,” said Rink after the race had finished. Brink added: “that’s a huge relief, especially after everything that happened after the eighth race.” The BMW 325i had been disqualified due to a technical protest after the eighth race. The team lodged an appeal against this decision and the DMSB appeal court then found in their favour. “We were under a lot of pressure and we are delighted that we have finally been able to claim the title,” said Leisen.

The AUTOPOLIS 300km Race, Round 7 of the 2018 AUTOBACS SUPER GT series, was held at the AUTOPOLIS Circuit (one lap 4,674 m x 65 laps) in Oita Prefecture on October 21. In races marked by hot contests all around the track, the reigning GT500 class champion team, No. 1 KeePer TOM’S LC500 (Ryo Hirakawa/Nick Cassidy), came from behind to win its first race of the season. In the GT300 class, the No. 96 K-tunes RC F GT3 (Morio Nitta/Yuichi Nakayama) came from 10th position on the starting grid to take the win.

Xu Jia and Alessio Picariello of KINGS have secured the 2018 China GT Championship title. The title win, the second in a row for Xu, was claimed with victory in round 11 at the Shanghai International Circuit. In the third season for the national series, the Audi R8 LMS GT3 was driven to victory in nine of the 10 races in which it was entered.

The Spaniard failed to get his MCL33 out of the first part of qualifying yet again, but will be moved up the grid thanks to the penalties to the two Toro Rosso drivers.

Lamborghini took at last its first win of the season, as the Huracán of Ombra Racing, entrusted to Damiano Fioravanti and Andrea Rizzoli won Race 1 at Barcelona, benefitting from the 5-second penalty (for incorrect position at the start) inflicted to the car crossing the line in first, the other Huracán of Imperiale Racing of Breukers-Agostini. Giovanni Venturini-Jeroen Mul, the leading pair of Imperiale, took second, but are definitely out of the race for the title.

Vettel was summoned to the stewards after FP1 as he was alleged to have failed to slow down sufficiently for red flags, which were caused by Charles Leclerc, his Ferrari team-mate next season.
