The Reiter Engineering crew consisting of Tomáš Enge and Oliver Gavin entered the ADAC GT Masters season in tenth place. However, in the second race, she did not follow up on the good result when her British colleague collided with the Camaro GT3 .
"We already knew in practice that this year's ADAC GT Masters will be very balanced. Over the winter, everyone sped up and the forces in the starting field were equalized. This was also confirmed by the second qualification, in which sixteen riders could fit within one second. For the Camaro GT3, Oschersleben is not an ideal circuit, but even so, our loss to the top was more than half a second lower than last year. So we were satisfied with the times achieved, even if it only put us in fourteenth place. Gavin was a bit worse off, but this was accompanied by technical problems with the suspension spring during qualifying," said the Czech driver at the start of the new German GT season.
Tomáš Enge started the first race from fourteenth place and got to eleventh position with a decent start. Oliver Gavin improved the position of the black Camaro GT3 even more, and the Czech-British duo won one championship point in the very first race. "Maybe we expected more before the weekend, but as I said before, the competition is really big. We can be satisfied with the times and the location. The first race certainly didn't go badly. The Sunday race, in which Gavin started from the last row, was even worse. We tried to radically change the chassis settings, but it didn't turn out to be the right move. In addition, there was a clash with one of the opponents, who took it away by accident. I regret it all the more because it was the car of the Czech team of Robert Šenkýra," described Enge, who did not get into the car on Sunday, in the second race of the weekend.
The German ADAC GT Masters championship continues with the next event at the beginning of June in Austria , where the drivers will reach the circuit of the Formula 1 championship. Last year, Tomáš Enge took the cup from the Red Bull Ring for second place. The Reiter Engineering team will use the almost six-week break for testing. The first thing awaits the German team already this week.
