The race was run under grey skies that cleared only towards the end, on a practically dry track.
After losing one position at the start-off, Lorenzo Casè managed to gain two positions, moving to sixth place before giving up the wheel to his mate Cèdric Sbirrazzuoli. The young Monte Carlo driver defended the position in the second part of the race, holding it until the checkered flag was waved. In this eighth round of the series the GranTurismo MC favorably surprised everyone with its lap times that matched the best of the bunch.
This debut weekend's results therefore confirm the car's excellent potential: "it's a new car that hasn't had a glitch the whole weekend", remarked the drivers. The GranTurismo MC has shown great reliability, optimum overall behavior, and an excellent balance, giving the team great expectations for the future.
The Maserati Trofeo's performance, closing at eleventh place with Andrea Perlini, was satisfying.
Rounds nine and ten of the GT4 European Cup are set for 23 August at the Zolder track in Belgium.
