Pampanini and Calamia triumph in ultra-close duel for Race 2 victory at Zandvoort

The DINAMIC Motorsport Maserati spent the majority of the 60-minute contest in second spot, though the black and gold car was never far from the leading Mičánek Motorsport powered by Buggyra Lamborghini. Stefan Rosina led the opening stint from pole, while Calamia made a good start to move from third on the grid to run P2 as the field negotiated the opening sequence of corners.

Rosina quickly established an advantage at the head of the order and looked as though he might be able to negate the compensation time accrued from winning yesterday's race. But as the stint progressed Calamia began to match his rival, preventing the Slovakian ace from escaping entirely.

The leading duo both made their mandatory stops at the end of the mid-race pit window. It was close, but the Lamborghini narrowly maintained its advantage over the Maserati, despite the Pampanini/Calamia car serving three seconds less compensation time.

Pampanini set about making the move on the circuit. He stalked Bronek Formanek throughout the second half of the race, but the Maserati was not able to get close enough to the Lamborghini on the long start-finish straight.

His chance finally came with a little over two minutes remaining, when the leaders encountered lapped traffic as they crossed the start-finish line. Pampanini used this opportunity to slip up the inside of Formanek and completed a tidy pass under braking for Tarzan.

Just two laps later the Maserati took the chequered flag, scoring the second GT2 Europe win for the DINAMIC duo following last year’s breakthrough triumph in Barcelona. Formanek and Rosina finished second, with the NM Racing Team Mercedes-AMG claiming third in Pro-Am.

Philippe Prette completed a sweep of the Am class at the wheel of the #1 LP Racing Maserati. Having won yesterday’s race outright, the Italian delivered another peerless showing to finish third on the road and more than a minute clear of his nearest rivals.

The Akkodis ASP Mercedes-AMG claimed the runner-up spot. Christophe Bourret ran the first stint before handing over to Pascal Gibon, who was among the quickest drivers on the track during the second phase of the race. He made a last-lap pass on the RTR Projects Mercedes-AMG of Petr Lisa and Ondrej Rokos to seal second spot.
