The Emil Frey Racing Ferrari 296 GT3 driven by Jean-Luc D’Auria and Alain Valente set the fastest time of the day on the first day of ADAC GT Masters testing at the Hockenheimring. A full return to the team’s GT3 series.

Strong return from Emil Frey Racing: In the official ADAC GT Masters pre-season test at Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg, Switzerland’s Jean-Luc D’Auria finished Tuesday fastest of the day. “So far the test has been very successful. We were able to collect important data and test kilometers. I’m really happy to set the fastest lap at the end of the day. There are two more hours ahead of us tomorrow that we want to prepare for the start of the season in the best possible way,” said D’Auria. The 24-year-old, driving a Ferrari 296 GT3 with Alain Valente (CHE), completed the 4.574km lap in 1:38.655.

Jannes Fittje (Langenhain/Haupt Racing Team) set the second fastest time in both sessions with 1:38.715 minutes. “It’s definitely good to be so high on the timesheets. However, that’s not saying much. We were able to learn a lot about the car today and continue to grow together as a team. In any case, I’m very happy to be back at the ADAC GT Masters with HRT,” reported the youngster. 24 years old. Fittje shares the Mercedes-AMG GT3 cockpit with last year’s ADAC Formula 4 Junior driver Finn Wiebelhaus (Obertshausen).

The Porsche 911 GT3 R of Alexander Schwarzer and Alexander Fach (both CHE/Fach Auto Tech) came third. Schwarzer posted a time of 1:38.749 in the morning session. On Wednesday the drivers have two more one-hour test sessions on the agenda.
