Commenting on these changes, team leader J.Gelžinis admitted that although plans to prepare for the Lithuanian Le Mans had to be adjusted several times, in Palanga the men of the “Circle K milesPLUS racing team” will still be in top shape. possible.
“We were able to test the new car in Barcelona in the winter, but the planned start of the Hankook 24H Series marathon in Monza was moved to the beginning of July in the spring, so we couldn’t get there.” Instead, we had a test session on the Auto24 Ring track near the city of Pärnu.
So far, everything is looking good: Julius passed the high school exams and managed to win the Nankang Endurance Academy 2-hour race in the Ring of Nemunas a few weeks ago. Furthermore, after making a great debut in Aurum’s 1006km race last year, he managed to become the BEC winner and the TCR Baltic vice champion.
Ralph Aron is currently the fastest Estonian ring race champion working in the Formula 3 European Championship for the Prema Powerteam team. He rushes to Palanga because, as he says, the atmosphere of the event transports him, and the track formed here is somewhat reminiscent of the Macau Grand Prix bouts in which Ralph has won. The Oscar was with us both in Basel and in the Auto24 Ring. The newcomer to our team has a little less experience diving between cars moving at different speeds, but overall they drive at a very good pace and there will definitely be no team brake, ”says J. Gelžinis.
Speaking of his own athletic form, John doesn’t speak much, but he claims he didn’t give up and moved constantly over the years.
“Seeing the results of the Palanga race from outside the country can create a slightly false impression that victories are very easy to achieve there.” However, I really know that all the teams that see the start of the Aurum 1006km race not as a marketing project but as a serious sport are preparing very carefully and working very hard. Last year’s results, when the leaders led a few seconds after 8-9 hours, dispel any doubts about the level of this competition.
Every time we manage to win or get close to the fastest teams here, and we squeeze the absolute maximum out of ourselves and technique. Every time everything has to be tested again, and the pressure only increases. Even more, since there will be more powerful and much more expensive machines, specially designed for endurance races “, opens J.Gelžinis.
It is interesting that the mechanics of the Circle K milesPLUS racing team prepared three Porsche cars for the fight in Palanga and promised to keep them.
Dynami: t Energy’s ambitious team, led by Rokas Baciuška, one of the most talented drivers of the young generation, will race the Porsche GT3 CUP, which helped win last year.
The oldest of these races, Ramūnas Čapkauskas, Arūnas Strumskis, Mindaugas Platūkis and Linas Skardžiukas, who ran the flag of the Vytautas Gazuotas team, also bought an identical Porsche battle car, which statistically brought the most victories in Palanga.
Furthermore, the engineers of the Juta Racing team in the Aurum 1006 km race took over the maintenance of one of their partners’ teams, the Lesta Racing Team, which will drive the Cupra TCR car.
