As we wrap up the 2024 season in the GT Open Cup with our driver, Evgenii Leonov, it’s time to reflect on an eventful year filled with challenges, growth, and achievements.
Our last race weekend in Monza at the GT Open Cup was full of excitement and surprises! With rain expected at any moment, we had to stay flexible with our strategy, making the race unpredictable and thrilling. In Q1, we placed P11. We couldn’t get the tires working, and even when we improved, another car blocked us and stopped us from setting a faster lap. Race 1 was tricky with rain almost the entire time. Evgenii Leonov managed a few overtakes, but we faced some power loss issues. A broken sensor was causing problems, reducing power, especially in lower gears, but we still finished in P6. The second race was even more intense. Starting from P6 in Q2, Evgenii quickly passed a Ferrari in the first corner, moving up to P5. However, another driver with broken steering crashed into us and pushed us off track, dropping us back to P21. But Evgenii didn’t give up—he fought back hard, overtaking two cars on the same lap and working his way back up. By the time he reached P5, another competitor in the Porsche was closing in from behind, ready to overtake. The final lap was intense as our competitor tried to pass in the first corner, but Evgenii defended brilliantly and crossed the finish line in P5! We’re incredibly proud of shire determination and spirit shown by Evgenii and the whole team. Monza was a true rollercoaster, and we loved every second of it!
There were tough moments, but we overcame them all, learning and improving every step of the way. We celebrated a fantastic victory with a 1st place finish at Hockenheimring and secured 2nd place in Barcelona. Finishing 5th in the championship with 68 points is an achievement we are proud of, and it fuels our drive to come back even stronger next year. We’re ready to continue this incredible journey and are already focused on preparation for the next season. Thank you to everyone who supported us this year. Here’s to a future of pushing boundaries and aiming even higher in 2025! 💪🔥
