Piccini and Deletraz win Jarama round

A long and hot race in Spain saw BMS Scuderia Italia take their first win in the FIA GT Championship, after a dominant performance from Andrea Piccini and Jean-Denis Deletraz.

Piccini started from pole and pulled away, despite the scorching heat, and the Italo-Swiss pairing were never seriously threatened.

Carsport Holland’s Kumpen and Hezemans ended their run of bad luck to take second, ahead of Lister Storm Racing finished sixth, to retain the points lead.

In N-GT, Freisinger Motorsport took their second consecutive win, with Stephane Ortelli and Sascha Maassen.

Championship leaders Pescatori and Montermini, in the JMB Racing Ferrari 360 Modena, just managed to hold on to second place from the RWS Motorsport Porsche of Garcia and Fertl.
