Podium for the Lotus Driving Academy GT4 team in Magny-Cours, France
LOTUS DRIVING ACADEMY – BLANCPAIN ENDURANCE SERIES, MAGNY-COURS
Lotus Driving Academy (LDA) premiered at the Magny-Cours round of the Blancpain Endurance series with two Evora GT4s. Car 61 piloted by Switzerland’s Fredy Barth took pole position and set the fastest lap before unfortunately having to retire during the three hour race due to a mechanical problem. Car number 62 however faired much better and finished in second place with the youngest driver pairing in the field – 20-year old Andrina Gugger (Swiss) and 18-year-old Matthias Gamauf (Austrian).
The young LDA drivers shared the podium with fellow Lotus drivers Greg and Leo Mansell alongside Edoardo Piscopo as they brought their Lotus GT4 home in third position for Lotus Sport Italia.
Robert Lechner, Managing Director of Lotus Driving Academy said: “Congratulations must go to Andrina and Matthias for the fantastic race result with second place on the GT4 podium in their first ever GT race for Lotus.”
