After Alex’s blazing start it was Lucas who was next up in the YouTube GT-R and after the pit stop he was fifth overall and first in the Pro-Am class.
He said: “The GT-R has been great here all weekend so it has been a lot of fun for us to race at Monza. When I jumped into the car everything felt great and I could push hard for the first half of my stint. After that I started to struggle a little with tyre pressures and I struggled thoughout my run with very heavy traffic. I think I learned more in this race than I have learned in any race, fighting with the top GT drivers. Unfortunately I ‘did a Hamilton’ when I pitted, stopping a couple of garages short so we lost a bit of time. It has been a pleasure to race the GT-R here. It felt great to take it through the famous Monza corners and I will take away some great memories.”
The Nissan GT Academy Team RJN moves swiftly on now to Zolder in Belgium for the next round of the FIA GT Championship.
JANN MARDENBOROUGH CONTINUES TO MAKE GOOD PROGRESS
Jann Mardenborough, winner of the 2011 Nissan PlayStation GT Academy, continued his education in racing downforce cars at Silverstone this weekend. Racing in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship after completing just one season in British GT racing, Jann is on one of the steepest learning curves in motorsport. The young driver is working hard to prepare for racing a Le Mans car this June.
He pulled together everything he has learned so far to qualify in an impressive 12th for the final race of the weekend and then raced his heart out to take eighth place against the cream of the crop of single-seater racers, scoring his first points of the season in just his second race.
