Racing atop the 24H
Series standings
The trio endured a troublesome opening segment to the
race on Saturday, leaving them with work to do during the
second part.
Arriving at the track dubbed the Temple of
Speed as the points leaders in the GT4
class, Buggyra began the weekend in good
spirits and worked on developing the best
setup for the Mercedes-AMG GT4 and the
correct strategy for the race.
" Free practice and Qualifying The weekend followed the usual 24H Series format, with
free practice taking place on Friday morning before the three-part qualifying session to
determine the starting order for the first segment of the 12-hour race.
Koloc explained: "Qualifying went
pretty well, we got second on the
grid in GT4, which was a good
result as it's a long race.
" Race In contrast to the rest of the 12-hour format races, the first
segment was run over six-and-a-half hours instead of six, with the #416
Mercedes initially holding position with Lacko at the wheel.
"The race started out pretty well, Adam
drove a really good stint, and in my time
in the car I was double stinting so I was
trying to manage the tyres, as people
were having problems with punctures,"
said Koloc.
Sunday's race is five and a hours and the plan is to try and
recover some time.
"It got pretty lonely at times as I wasn't
getting any information so my stint felt
kind of long but I was consistent with my
times and I think I did quite a good job,
everyone was happy so I am glad.
With the tyres, in the practices we got a puncture so we were
trying to be careful and not push too hard, it was hot so
thankfully the tyres were not an issue.
Sunday's race will be difficult because the other
Mercedes is fast and hard to catch, but the BMW is
only a couple of laps ahead, so we will push and see
if we can catch them." Race With the team facing an
uphill battle and some luck to back up their Spa
victory, the second segment of the race
Lacko started the race and swapped with Koloc but the car was forced
back into the garage by the time he brought the #416 into the pits at the
end of the opening hour.
Having spent several minutes in the
garage, the car resumed action and
made it to the end of the race, finishing
on the podium, albeit in a
disappointing third place.
