ADAC GT Masters·7.6.2015

ADAC GT Masters: Comments after the race: What the drivers had to say after Race 2 at the Red Bull Ring.

Adrian Zaugg (#63 Grasser Racing, Lamborghini Huracán GT3), winner: "I don't know exactly what happened to the Corvette. I could see that he had a problem two corners before I overtook him, so I made the most of the chance. This was the first victory for the new Huracán in a sprint race. Lamborghini can be very proud. I'm particularly pleased that we were able to give the Grasser team a victory in their home race."

Mirko Bortolotti (#63 Grasser Racing, Lamborghini Huracán GT3), winner: "We pushed really hard and got everything we could out of the car, as I'm sure you all saw. The key to our win was getting past Enge's Lamborghini with a good overtaking manoeuvre, after which I was able to put the leading Corvette under pressure. We were constantly getting a bit faster than the Corvette, and Adrian then put in a great stint to clinch the victory. I am delighted for Lamborghini and the fans; we've generated a fabulous atmosphere here and delivered a great race."

Tomas Enge (#25 Reiter Engineering, Lamborghini Gallardo R-EX), runner up: "We have absolutely nothing to complain about: pole position, a win and a second place, plus a maximum points haul of 50 points - it was just perfect. Today's race was a high-octane affair. It was full throttle right from the start. I tried to go easy on the car, but it just wasn't possible. That was by no means an easy race, but the weekend as a whole has been just fantastic. I also have to thank David. I wish he could be my new life partner - but only in a racing car of course!"

David Russell (#25 Reiter Engineering, Lamborghini Gallardo R-EX), runner up: "I'm feeling quite overwhelmed by our weekend. My thanks go to Hans Reiter and the team for their good work. Today was a little more difficult than yesterday, but Tomas handed over to me with the car in good shape. It's been a great experience to drive here. I want to compete in more races in Europe, and I hope this weekend will give me the chance. Thanks to the team and the competitors - everyone has given me a warm welcome, and the atmosphere has been great."

Klaus Bachler (#36 GW IT Racing Team Schütz Motorsport, Porsche 911 GT3 R), third: "I got off to a great start, moved up to fourth position straightaway and was able to maintain the pace. Then the air pressure in our tyres was a bit too high, which caused us some problems with the brakes, so we had to ease off slightly to be on the safe side. Too bad for the Corvette guys, but that allowed us to take the podium."

Philipp Eng (#36 GW IT Racing Team Schütz Motorsport, Porsche 911 GT3 R), third: "It's not often that you say you've got the most out of your package, but I can safely claim to have done that today. Klaus had a mega start, and we got the maximum out of our Porsche. I feel sorry for Callaway after they had to pit late, but that's all part of motor racing, and we gratefully accepted third position."

Florian Scholze (#22 MRS GT-Racing, Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3), winner in Gentlemen class: "At the start, I saw a wide gap in the middle, but then I got hit from behind and shunted into a car in front. I was worried that my race was over, but I found that I was able to continue after all. From then on, the race was a lot of fun. After the problems yesterday, we were just happy that the car kept going."

Dominic Jöst (#22 MRS GT-Racing, Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3), winner in Gentlemen class: "We weren't sure whether the car would go the distance, but everything worked OK. Towards the end, I was tailing a Bentley, but I was unable to overtake because my tyres were shot."

Remo Lips (#13 RWT RacingTeam, Corvette Z06.R GT3), second in Gentlemen class: "I took over with the car in fourth place and was a bit apprehensive. Then I really got hammered. But after that, I was able to drive at my own pace. Two P7 finishes, one victory and a second place in the Gentlemen class - that's not a bad haul for the weekend."

Jakub Knoll (#12 Senkyr Motorsport, BMW Z4 GT3), third in Gentlemen class: "I had a relatively trouble-free race. I just concentrated on my own race. In contrast to Oschersleben, we have made great progress here with our car and we've had a virtually problem-free weekend."

Jeroen Bleekemolen (#7 Bentley Team HTP, Bentley Continental GT3), P5: "We were surprisingly competitive, which I certainly wasn't expecting after the past couple of days. The points today are important, because if you want to be a contender for the title, you have to score on a consistent basis."

Daniel Keilwitz (#66 Callaway Competition, Corvette Z06.R GT3), P12: "We don't know the cause of our problem yet - apparently there was some damage to the rim or the wheel nut. Losing out for the second time on a potential win just a few minutes before the end of the race is a very bitter experience."
