FIA GT4

Last weekend saw the first 2 rounds if the FIA GT4 European Cup & Supersport Championship {link}.
The GT4 class had a pair of BMW M3s entered for Kevin Veltman {link} (Genpact Racing) and André Grammatico and Pierre Brice Mena (Espace Bienvenue). Veltman took 8th and then 4th overall while the Espace Bienvenue car finished 9th in race one and retired from race 2.
The Supersport class is dominated by Audi powered cars with both the Donkervoort D8GT {link} and KTM X Bow GT4 {link} using Ingolstadt developed power plants.
Denis Donkervoort (Donkervoort D8GT) managed to claim victory in race 1 at Silverstone, finishing a remarkable 3rd overall. Stephane Wintenberger (Donkervoort D8GT) claimed 2nd with Augustin Eder (KTM X BOW GT4) taking 3rd from Nico Pronk (Donkervoort D8GT). Race 2 saw Eder win from Pronk with no others reaching the finish.
