The MRS Esports drivers responded immediately allowing Brzezinski to taste the lead for the first time this round. The Austro-Slovenian, along with stablemate Rietveld, third-placed Högfeldt and Isaac Price, all came in to pit at the earliest opportunity with an eye to undercutting those ahead. Brzezinski, desperately needing as many points over Löhner as possible, dropped a place early to Kevin Siggy. Similar to the Sprint earlier, first place seemingly wasn’t where you wanted to be hurtling towards Turn 1 as both Tim Jarschel and Marc Gassner passed the Mercedes-AMG. With the post-race commotion put to rest, it would be Christopher Högfeldt who found himself in pole position for the first Feature Race of the evening. Meanwhile, it was heartbreak for Nikita Shaposhnik the Ukrainian qualifying third but finishing outside the top twenty with Julian Kunze taking his place. Alessandro Ottaviani almost stole pole position away but was once again pipped. The Turkish driver will certainly be one to watch in the main championship next year. GT4 RaceĮmre Cihan would cap off a tremendous GT4 season with yet another pole position and victory. From finishing fourth, Löhner would be classified 15th in what will be one of the most hotly debated stewards’ decisions in the series’ history. Though well-intentioned and calculated given Brzezinski’s sixth-place finish, the actions were frowned upon by the stewards who slammed the championship leader with a 10-second post-race time penalty for ‘unsportsmanlike behaviour’. In an apparent show of comradery for his stablemate, Löhner would slow down to give Hasse a podium in his fight for third in the points standings. Fascinatingly, his final overtake would be in the dying moments of the race, but in no part down to his own skill. Pejic’s first lap nightmare wasn’t over as both Löhner and Hasse escorted him out of the podium spots.ĭespite this early setback, he would recover well, re-passing Hasse with 15 minutes to go. Behind, Brzezinski had turned on the jets, careening up to seventh. Bánki immediately seized upon first with a late, retaliatory, dive into the Turn 6 hairpin. Pejic and bad starts were one of the talking points of the early season and once again the old headline ran once more. Jakub Brzezinski meanwhile, as the only challenger to Löhner, endured a disappointing result down in 13th. Behind the pole-sitter lay three cars in Dörr Esports colours Bence Bánki, Löhner and Florian Hasse respectively.Īfter picking up his first win in the series in the previous round, Jeffrey Rietveld continued his encouraging form trajectory with fifth and just over a tenth away from the front of the grid. 2021 has shown plenty of promise for the young German, though not much has been capitalised on. Marko Pejic was back at the sharp end of the grid after going ‘missing in action’ mid-season.
