Richelmi won the 7th place at Brands Hatch and the 2nd place in the Blancpain GT Series classification
The second race of the Blancpain GT Series was held at Brands Hatch and Stéphane Richelmi has raced with the car number 3 Audi R8, along with team-mate Stéphane Ortelli.
After promising free practice on Saturday morning, unfortunately the Audi crew has been out of Q3 and therefore it had to start from 16th position on the grid in the qualifying race, which took place Sunday, May 10. Ortelli didn’t start well and he lost some positions on the first lap, but then Richelmi has recovered up to 11th place.
In the main race, the #3 Audi crossed the finish line in 7th position and it was therefore granted valuable points for the championship that sees the crew of Richelmi 2nd place in the overall standings.
«It is never nice to have such a hard weekend like that, and clearly P16 wasn’t a good position to start. But today the race pace was back, team worked well. It’s ok considering how competitive the track was today with no incidents.»
Next meeting is Endurance in Silverstone 23-24 may.
