The 3rd and 4th races of the Asian Le Mans Series took place this past weekend and they were definitely eventful 😅.

The first race was pretty clean for the team for the most part however, a very lengthy red flag during Zhou’s second stint put an unexpected twist to everyone’s strategy. The race then resumed with 1 hour 45 minutes left to go with Ralf in the car in overall 28th. By the time Elias took over for the final hour of the race the team were 17th in their class. After a lot of hard work Elias ended the race 10th in class🥳.

The second race was just as eventful as the first😅. During Zhou’s first stint there was a lengthy Full Course Yellow but Zhou managed to get to 8th in class. Virtual Safety Car at the end of his second stint gave the team the opportunity to put Ralf in the car without losing much time and in time before the Safety Car came out.. Another VSC came out with 1hr 29 minutes left so Ralf came into the pits and swapped with Elias. When the safety car came out to bunch the grid back up together Elias was 3rd in class and this is when the chaos began 😭. In the last minute of the race Elias battled the 2Seas Motorsports car for 6th place in class but ended the race 7th in class.

The team finished in the top ten for both races and came close to a podium position in the second race🥳🥳!! Let’s see if they can progress further in the season finale this weekend at Yas Marina Circut🤞🏾🩶!!
