Victory and the points
lead for Buggyra ZM
Racing after challenging
12H of Spa
Buggyra ZM Racing claimed its first 24H GT Series victory of the season as
Aliyyah Koloc, Adam Lacko, and David Vršecky came out on top in
dominant fashion in the 12 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, winning with a
three-lap margin.
They are now leading the
drivers’ and teams’
championship in the GT4 class
by 12 points.
Having been denied victory in the GT4 class due to a late-race retirement
in the 12 Hours of Mugello in March, the trio arrived at the iconic Belgian
circuit determined to make amends.
They did so in style, by taking victory in a
tricky opening six-hour race on Saturday
which was affected by typically
unpredictable Spa weather and then
repeating the feat for the second part on
Sunday.
The victory moves Koloc, Lacko, and Vršecky to the top of the GT4
drivers’ standings, 12 points clear of their nearest challengers
ahead of the next round of the season at Monza.
In the teams’ standings,
Buggyra ZM Racing holds the
same margin over the second
place at the top of the table.
“It’s only the second race of the season and there is a lot of racing still
to go but so far, we are feeling good,” said Aliyyah Koloc post-
weekend.
“The weather has been so difficult, it’s been
raining on and off [this weekend], so this
caused a lot of issues with knowing which
tyres to put on and then driving in the wet on
slicks, but we managed it well.”
The predicted rain for Sunday thankfully failed to appear,
making strategy far less of a headache than it had been the
day before.
Nevertheless, several Code 60
periods affected the race, most
notably during Lacko’s time in the
car where no fewer than three
occurred in one stint.
After a promising start to the 12Hours, consistency was the key to Sunday’s race and that is exactly what
the trio managed to achieve to secure victory. Thanks to their halfway stage win, the #416 started from
pole position for the second segment and maintained the advantage during the opening hour.
Such was the pace of the trio in the
Mercedes, that when Lacko brought the
car home at the end of the 12 Hours, the
#416 took victory by three laps from the
second placed competitors.
