Emil Frey Racing Lamborghini scored a dominant win in the first of this weekend’s Sprint Cup contests at Zandvoort thanks to a faultless drive from its all-Swiss crew of Ricardo Feller and Alex Fontana.
The #14 car led from the front of the grid following Feller’s outstanding pole position lap and was untroubled on its journey to the chequered flag, securing both drivers a maiden overall triumph in Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS competition. Feller and Fontana also wrapped up victory in the Silver Cup, headlining an incredible performance that saw five class contenders among the overall top-six.
Pro-Am honours were closely disputed from lights to flag. The #77 Barwell Motorsport Lamborghini started from pole with Miguel Ramos at the wheel but was overhauled during the opening stages by the #52 AF Corse Ferrari of Louis Machiels. The Portuguese driver was far from beaten, however, bravely launching an attack around the outside of Tarzan and making it stick.
Ramos then handed over to Henrique Chaves, who pulled clear of Andrea Bertolini to win by more than 15 seconds and ensure a clean sweep for Lamborghini. SPS Automotive Performance completed the Pro-Am podium with the #20 Mercedes-AMG of Valentin Pierburg and Dominik Baumann.
