The #333 V8 Racing Renault RS01 FGT3 wins the Hankook 12Hour at Mugello.

Luc Braams, Max Braams, Nicky Pastorelli and Miguel Ramos drove a near flawless race and took home their first overall win in the 24H SERIES.

The winning Renault drivers completed 345 laps on the 5.245 kilometres long circuit in Tuscany, covering a total distance of 1,809.525 kilometres.

 

Hofor-Racing finished second with its Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 (#10, Michael Kroll/Chantal Kroll/Roland Eggimann/Kenneth Heyer/Christiaan Frankenhout). The Hofor-Racing Mercedes finished four laps down on the V8 Racing Renault.
 
It was the Optimum Motorsport Audi R8 LMS that led the most laps in the race and it looked destined for victory, before disaster struck the team that won the SP3 class in 2015. With just under 90 minutes remaining the Audi suffered a gearbox problem and lost the lead to the V8 Racing Renault RS01 FGT3.

Half an hour later the problems resurfaced and as Ratcliffe came to a halt on the track he was hit by an unsighted DINAMIC SRL Porsche 991 Cup (#56, Alex de Giacomi/Giovanni Berton/Niccolo’ Mercatali/Mattia Drudi).
 
Third place overall went to the GRT Grasser Racing Team Lamborghini Huracan GT3 (#963, Rolf Ineichen/Mark Ineichen/Adrian Amstutz/Christian Engelhart), finishing five laps behind the race winners.

The IDEC SPORT RACING Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 (#17, Patrice Lafargue/Paul Lafargue/Gabriel Abergel/Sacha Bottemanne) claimed fourth place overall and the victory in the A6-Am class, the second consecutive class win for father and son Lafargue and Abergel in the Hankook 12H ITALY-MUGELLO. Equipe Verschuur took second place in A6-Am with its Renault RS01 FGT3 (#23, Erik van Loon/Harrie Kolen/Mike Verschuur).
