GTSPRINT INT. SERIES: Solieri celebrates perfect race at Brno

A veteran in the GTSPRINT INTERNATIONAL SERIES, Glauco Solieri made an outstanding comeback to victory in front of 26.000 fans at Brno as he prevailed in a photo-finish to bring Autorlando Sport and the Porsche brand back to victory at Brno.

While he ended up Race 1 in 7th, Solieri did not miss a beat in Race 2, and after having cruised to the lead after the mandatory pit-stop he kept the charging Ferrari 458 GTS2 of Alexander Talkanitsa Jr. at bay by just 26 thousands of a second. The final lap was heart-pounding as the AF Corse Belarusian tried multiple attacks on Solieri who kept smart lines and resisted last-gasp dive to the checkered flag to take his first win of the season.

"Being back to victory in GTSPRINT has been extremely exciting - said Solieri - I always believed in this series as proven by my longtime commitment started in 2010. Two years ago I switched to the Porsche camp with Autorlando and that's been one of the best moves I could do and, as I said before, that beating Ferrari has always been my primary goal. This time we won but it hasn't been easy, but I would have never allowed them to pass. The season is long and although my opponents are quick and strong, we'll do 100% to be among the frontrunners all the time".

The GTSPRINT INTERNATIONAL SERIES will be back roaring for round 3 of 2013 on the 9th of June at Slovakiaring.
