Aleksander Schjerpen came in second in race II at Anderstorp raceway last weekend.

 

ATS-Racing where competing in the FIA GT4/Swedish GT series at Anderstorp raceway last weekend.

The weekend started with practice sessions on friday, we quickly came up to speed, and found a good pace arround the old F1 track.

On Saturday it was one qualifying and race I, Aleks drove a very quick lap, and qualified 2nd in his class. When the race got underway, Aleks got a problem with the gearbox, he quickly came in to the pits. After 20 mins, we got out on track again, the race was only 50 minutes long, so we could not catch up with the rest of the field, but Aleks did an incredible job, and set the fastest lap of the race.

On Sunday it was a new qualifying and race II. We fixed the gearbox, but it was not perfect. Aleks got out on track, and on the last lap of qualifying he put on the fastest lap, putting our car in front of our class!

The race got underway, and we had a great start, fighting the other cars. After a while rain started coming down on the track, and we had to pit. It is one mandatory pitstop in the race, so we had to come in once more later in the race as well. After the second stop, we came out 5th in our class, due to the safety car, we had lost a lot of places out on the track.

Under wet conditions Aleks manage to get past the drivers in front of him, and finally came in 2nd! An incredible race, and what a weekend!

Now we are focusing on the next race in the Swedish GT series, witch is at Ring Knutstorp in two weeks time.

See below for a few pictures from the weekend!
