A win-filled weekend and the first major GT championship title of
the season for Prancing Horse with the victory laurels clinched
by Pierre Alexandre Jean and Ulysse de Pauw in the GT World
Challenge Europe powered by AWS Sprint Cup in the Silver
class, as well as triumphs in the DTM and ELMS.
GT World Challenge Europe With one round to spare, Pierre Alexandre Jean and Ulysse de
Pauw became Silver Cup champions in the Sprint series. The
Franco-Belgian duo, making their series debut, notched up a
fifth win of the season at Misano, topped off with two second
and a third places, handing the AF Corse crew the title with one
round still to race. The first laurels for Ferrari in this class came
after a race decided in the latter stages, after the Safety Car –
prompted by a multiple car incident mid pack – in the final
moments of the race.
DTM Felipe Fraga sealed a maiden victory in the DTM in the Red Bull Alphatauri AF Corse-run 488 GT3 Evo 2020
thanks to an authoritative race at the Norisring. The Brazilian brought success back to Ferrari in the German
series after Liam Lawson’s legitimate title ambitions had vanished on the very same track last season. Fraga,
celebrating his birthday today, having taken pole position in the morning’s qualifying session, commanded the
race from the gantry lights through to the chequered flag. Seventh place went to Ayhancan Guven, replacing
Nick Cassidy who was engaged elsewhere in Formula E.

ELMS Davide Rigon, Matteo Cressoni and Claudio Schiavoni secured the win in the LMGTE class at the end of the 4
Hours of Monza, the third round of the European Le Mans Series. The Italian trio drove Iron Lynx’s 488 GTE to
victory at the end of a very intense and thrilling race. Rigon produced a splendid last-gasp comeback that not
even a quick fuel top-up, five minutes from the chequered flag, was able to prevent. Third place went to the
Kessel Racing 488 GTE driven by Takeshi Kimura, Frederik Schandorff and Mikkel Jensen.
Palmares For the 488 GT3, in both regular and Evo 2020 versions, this represents a 107 title since 2016, while the
victory tally now stands at 463
