Arjun Maini placed second in the GT World Challenge Europe. "It was really fun to drive, and I managed to keep a Good Pace throughout which helped us to move ahead in the Standings. I was very happy with the consistency, and I think with all the experience I now have, I am able to show my pace as well as consistency," Arjun said in a release.
Safety cars made many appearances during the race, and at one time the number 5 car, which had Arjun, dropped to sixth place. The last hour-long stint, which is often completed by a gold class driver, was completed by Maini, who brought the vehicle in second place.
With their second podium result, vehicle number 5 has moved up to fourth place overall in the Championship. "I will look forward to the last round later this year. This is a team event and all three of us have been able to contribute to the success.
