The last weekend of August signs also the end of the holidays for the Blancpain GT Series protagonists, who will return on track in Budapest after a full month off for the Sprint Cup series. At Hungaroring, Michele Beretta will drive the Grasser Racing Lamborghini Huracan GT3 together Luca Stolz: the young driver from Ello is called to strengthen the leadership in Silver Cup standing, which was consolidated thanks to the win achieved in the last round at Nurburgring; in Budapest indeed, with 23 points more than the opponents, the italian-german duo will have the first “match point” to close the game.
Michele Beretta: “Hungaroring is a difficult track, narrow, no many points to overtake, so the qualify is crucial, much more than other circuits; the test day held here three weks ago provided us many useful datas for setup and tyres. For sure it will be a very hot weekend and track here is quite abrasive, that means we have to manage the tyres in the best way we can. I and Luca will push hard to conquer the title one event before the end!”
