Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain, Porsche Carrera Cup GB: Monza, rounds five and six
Magical Monza thrills with wins for Zamparelli and Gamble
Dino Zamparelli (Redline Racing) maintained his championship lead of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB, the fastest single marque GT racing championship in the UK, following its first visit to historic Monza in Italy. The 2018 championship’s blue riband event, run in support of the European Le Mans Series (ELMS), saw Zamparelli and Rookie George Gamble (Amigos Team Parker) become the season’s first repeat winners in two eventful races, both of which featured Safety Car periods due to first corner incidents.
Jamie Orton (JTR) emerged from the weekend retaining his lead of the Pro-Am championship, despite retiring from race 1 and starting near the back in race 2. However, two category victories for Seb Perez (Amigos Team Parker) and two podium finishes for Dan Vaughan (Motorbase Performance) will have Orton looking over his shoulder. Category glory for Peter Kyle-Henney (IN2 Racing) in race 1, and Iain Dockerill (Asset Advantage Racing) in race 2 also ensured the continuation of a close Am championship battle.
Zamparelli, who is of part Italian heritage, was challenged for his win in race 1 and second place finish in race 2 at Autodromo Nazionale Monza’s famous high-speed circuit by championship rival Tio Ellinas (Slidesports Engineering). Ellinas finished on the podium in both races directly behind Zamparelli, just six points now separate the Pro category drivers at the top of the championship table
