Three weeks after the Austrian Gran Prix of Formula 1, the Red Bull Ring is hosting the fourth round of ADAC GT Masters this weekend. The circuit, based in Styria, had been unused for several years after an expensive renovation in the 90s. It was later renovated again and it started its motorsport activities in 2011. It was reopened on May, 15th 2011 and it has the same track as the one introduced in 1996 when the circuit was named A1-Ring.

Compared to the legendary Osterreichring, this racetrack is considerably shorter: the rise to the Hella-Licht chicane was eliminated because considered too dangerous, the first curve was moved up of tens of metres, a new straight, which was parallel to the Flatschach one, was built and the track was then rejoined to the old track by a sharp turn in steep rise called Remus Kurve. Other major changes concern the Bosch curve, which is now much slower, and the Rindt curve, which was changed into a double sharp bend from a long turn in order to obtain huge escape routes.

For Bonaldi Motorsport this race is the right occasion to restart from the positions the team last obtained, which is to say the eighth position gained by Patrick Kujala and Miloš Pavlović in Race 2 at the Lausitzring circuit. This was an eighth position which, at a certain point of the race, resembled to a podium one. The other crew, composed by Florian Spengler and Emanuele Zonzini, in Race 2 at Lausitzring as well, lost for an irrelevance the opportunity to gain important scores for the standings but showed their skills to join the leading positions.

Marco Bielli, team manager: "I have nothing to complain about performances during the past races. We did what we could do, maybe with some mistakes. But we need to improve in the qualifying sessions where we couldn´t reach the suitable positions".
