Jonas Gelžinis – “ENEOS 1006 km race“ Lucky Charm
In total he drove 8 hours 54 minutes, 373 laps he finished first. He is Egidijus Valeiša, driving “Porsche 911 GT3 CUP 997“ the driver from “Skuba Dream“ showed the best skills during the race and won. First ones to congratulate him were Ignas and Jonas Gelžinis – his teammates
Jonas Gelžinis had participated in 7 “ENEOS“ races and won them 4 times in a row, the driver even became a lucky charm as people often say “the team which has Gelžinis will win“.
“Skuba Racing Team“ with drivers: Karolis Šikšnelis, Džiugas Tovilavičius ir Marius Slaboševičius were happy to win the second place. Thirds were “Mojo Lounge by JR Motorsport“ drivers: Ward Sluys, Bas Schouten, Daniel Colembie. Unfortunately “Qwick –VR Racing“ sportsmen finished the fourth.
On Friday, right after the qualification in the press conference “Exit Palanga by Algirdai“, who won the qualification, had ambitions this year to win the race. However, the problem with leaking oil occurred and that damaged the whole system of the engine. That is why even the drivers questioned whether they will finish and they were right. After some laps they position got lower and lower.
“Palanga Spa Hotel by EMG Motorsport“ team also had some problems wich caused enormous problems and until then they were in second position. There were some minor accidents but the greatest achievement that nobody got hurt or got into serious troubles. Only “Helios sport“ driver in the beginning broke his car and had to check in the ambulance whether he is alright and everything was fine but the team withdrew from the race.
Like always there were accidents but the whole race was great and the emotions were only positive ones. The drivers can‘t wait for the next year even more improved and experienced.
