Victory at the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps played an important role in the Iron Lynx’s 488 GT3 Evo
2020 crew’s title win, but the #51 Ferrari performed very convincingly all season. However, in Barcelona, the
newly crowned champions were forced on the back foot and crossed the line in seventh place after fending
off attacks from other cars in the class. They were given a big help in this by their #71 teammates, Antonio
Fuoco, Alessio Rovera and Callum Ilott, who had to retire a few minutes from the end due to a puncture.
Pro-Am
Chris Froggatt also deservedly took the title, adding the Endurance Cup to his trophy cabinet with the
support of Jonathan Hui and Rino Mastronardi. At the wheel of Sky Tempesta Racing’s 488 GT3 Evo 2020,
the British driver managed to maintain the big lead he held at the start of the 3 hours in Catalonia. Fifth
place went to the AF Corse Ferrari of Machiels-Bertolini ahead of the “Iron Dames” Pin-Gatting-Bovy and the
Rinaldi Racing Ferrari of Bleekemolen-Lauch-Hook. The Kessel Racing car of Roda-Zollo-Kohmann finished
ninth.
Silver Cup
The Rinaldi Racing crew finished fifth overall with Hites-Perel-Crestani, who drove a solid race just a hair’s
breadth off the podium, which they came close to on several occasions this year.
