Porsche Motorsport Asia Pacific secured a podium finish at the 69th running of the Macau Grand Prix, with Alexandre Imperatori taking third in the Macau GT Cup for TORO Racing.
Starting fifth, the Swiss driver had a strong start and immediately gained a place, before progressing into third ahead of a long Safety Car period that spanned most of the shortened eight-lap race. Imperatori showed strong pace all weekend in the #11 Porsche 911 GT3 R, securing a podium in his ninth visit to the Macau GP.
In the Melco Greater Bay Area GT Cup, Jiang Ruxi put in a positive performance for RSR GT Racing, moving forwards in Race 2 to finish fourth in class in the #30 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport. His teammate Xia Yu battled hard to take ninth in class in the #1 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport.
Alexandre Imperatori, #11 TORO Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R: “I’m really happy to bring home a podium for TORO Racing and Porsche Motorsport Asia Pacific here in Macau. It’s always an amazing feeling to race around this circuit at full speed, we had a strong car all weekend and displayed great pace throughout. We put in a great effort to finish third and I already can’t wait to come back next year!”
Alexandre Gibot, Managing Director Porsche Motorsport Asia Pacific Ltd.: “Macau is a magnificent event and I’m delighted that Porsche Motorsport Asia Pacific was able to return this year, and even happier to see Alex up on the podium.
