ELMS - A significant change in the GTE standings at the 4 Hours of Imola (see HERE). Penalized for a non-compliant rear diffuser, the #57 Kessel Racing Ferrari was disqualified. Another 488 GTE, the #55 Spirit of Race car with Duncan Cameron-Matt Griffin-David Perel, finished third. Although penalized by 1'03'' for insufficient driving time by the Silver driver, the #66 Ferrari climbed to fourth place.

ELMS - Lorenzo Colombo (#9 Prema Racing Oreca 07) was the man of the day at Monza. In a bad way, with two penalties (see HERE), but also because he left Imola with the best lap of the race and the best 15 best laps average. Not sure he will stay Silver for long...

Ferrari Challenge Europe - Doriane Pin (photo above) had a ten-second lead with less than six minutes to go before a left rear puncture. The young Frenchwoman, who started from pole position, finally finished 14th in a race won by former F1 driver Adrian Sutil. Today, the Doriane recovered well by finishing on the third step of the podium after having gained 12 positions. Enough to keep the overall lead.

Michelin Le Mans Cup - 110 minutes of racing, 38 laps, four hydrogen refuelling sessions - that's the figures of a historic event: the first successful participation of an electric-hydrogen powered vehicle in an international endurance race. Yesterday, H24 saw the chequered flag of its very first race. Now it's off to Road to Le Mans !
