With the long straights, Monza is not a Porsche track and we knew from the start that it would be complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In qualifying, we still have a lot of catching up to do in terms of the overall package and only managed to finish in P20. In the race we worked our way up bit by bit, but lost a few positions due to a 15-second penalty for an offense at the first pit stop. In the end we got the absolute maximum with P10 with a good final stint and we&#8217;re not dissatisfied with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Top 10 and solid points were the goal and we achieved that. Without the penalty P7 would have been possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GTWC_Monza_46-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GTWC_Monza_46-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GTWC_Monza_46-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GTWC_Monza_46-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GTWC_Monza_46-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GTWC_Monza_46-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GTWC_Monza_46-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Die Saison 2023 der Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS begann am vergangenen Wochenende in Monza, einem der prestigetr\u00e4chtigsten Austragungsorte unseres Sports.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Es war ein sehr schwieriges Wochenende f\u00fcr uns. Mit den langen Geraden ist Monza keine Porsche-Strecke und wir wussten von Anfang an, dass es kompliziert werden w\u00fcrde.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Im Qualifying haben wir im Gesamtpaket noch viel aufzuholen und sind nur auf P20 ins Ziel gekommen. Im Rennen haben wir uns St\u00fcck f\u00fcr St\u00fcck nach vorne gearbeitet, aber durch eine 15-Sekunden-Strafe wegen eines Vergehens beim ersten Boxenstopp einige Positionen verloren. Am Ende haben wir mit P10 mit einem guten Schlussstint das absolute Maximum herausgeholt und sind damit nicht unzufrieden.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Top 10 und solide Punkte waren das Ziel und das haben wir erreicht. Ohne die Strafe w\u00e4re P7 m\u00f6glich gewesen.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GTWC_Monza_66-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GTWC_Monza_66-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GTWC_Monza_66-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GTWC_Monza_66-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GTWC_Monza_66-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GTWC_Monza_66-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GTWC_Monza_66-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Challenging race weekend, improvements and a top 10 finish in Monza.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5765,"featured_media":621,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5765"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=618"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":759,"href":"https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618\/revisions\/759"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thomaspreining.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
