Press release 17/2021 23.08.2021
Excellent weekend at Le Mans for Maurizio Fratti who takes the 996 Porsche rsr to victory in race 2 and a third place in race 1
Race report 1
Fratti Maurizio with the Porsche 996 rsr nr 176 starts in race 1 under the Safety Car, on the third lap the obligatory pit stop to regulate the pressures since the race situation guarantees a return to the track without traffic and therefore the possibility of making your own pace. On the first lap after the return spin when after curve 1 the steering is called up to set curve 2, return to the track and another spin at the Dunlop bridge. At the completion of the pitstop series the second place in the class is a couple of seconds away, immediately filled, but after a series of overtaking and counter-overtaking the race ends in third position
Race report 2
On Saturday morning August 21 at the start of race 2, Porsche No. 176 loses a few positions and is struggling to get into rhythm, until the moment it manages to stick to a GT2a and maintain a steady good pace. At that moment the gap from the train of cars of the same category is just over 15 seconds. Pitstop at the end of the window to let the car run without suffering too many dubbing from the prototypes in which the fifth position is passed to the second. The first is about 12 seconds away when you come out of the pits but the pace is very slow and in two laps it is reached and overtaken. Excellent conquest of the first class position.
The next double appointment of the Autorlando team will be on 3/5 September, with the RALLY GT and Fratti navigated by Verna at the Rally Citta ‘di Torino, while the 2 Cayman 718s of the Autorlando team will be involved in the Italian GT sprint Championship at IMOLA
