Giorgio Sanna & Davide Stancheris win the GT Cup class of the Italian GT Championship
for Lamborghini in Austria

Sant’Agata Bolognese, Friday August 10. Giorgio Sanna, Lamborghini R&D &
Lamborghini motorsport’s chief test driver, together with his partner Davide Stancheris
enjoyed a successful weekend in the Italian GT Championship round at the Red Bull Ring
in Austria last weekend, campaigning a Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo in the GT Cup
class.
Having qualified third for the first race on Saturday, the Lamborghini drivers finished just
over two tenths of a second off the lead after thirty laps of close and competitive racing.
For Sunday’s race, it was a more dominant affair, with the Lamborghini drivers starting in
pole and holding the lead to the flag, ahead of Alessandro Cicognani/Niccolò Granzotto
(Porsche 997-Antonelli Motorsport) and Andrii Kruglyk/
Ruslan Tsyplakov (Ferrari 458
Italia-MU Motorsport).
The points haul has promoted Sanna/Stancheris into second place in the Cup standings.
Giorgio Sanna said, “The victory in race two was really positive, thanks to the great work
of the team. However, it was difficult to accept the Ferrari 458 challenge in the
championship without the performance equalisation, but we are confident the promoter
will resolve this for the next race, where our focus will be on gaining more points for the
overall Cup standings.
At the same race meeting, the Dutch partnership of Peter Kox and Nico Pronk contested
the GT3 class with a GT3 Reiter Engineering-prepared Lamborghini Gallardo LP600,
which they took to 10th and 5th place respectively at the Spielberg meeting.
Elsewhere last weekend at the British GT Championship meeting at Snetterton, Marco
Attard and Hari Proczyk finished both of their races in ninth place with a Rhino´s Team
Leipert Lamborghini Gallardo LP600.
