Strong duels for the lead and mega performance in 12h race @24h Series

Seb Morris started part 1 of the 12h Hockenheim from position 3 at 1.30pm on Saturday. It quickly became clear that getting past the Leipert Motorsport Lamborghini Huracán GT3 proved to be quite difficult. Confidently, the driver quintet defended the top 3 position, with the #10 temporarily leading the field due to pit stops and driver changes. The Italian GT3 bull ran like Swiss clockwork and the drivers piloted it flawlessly through part 1 of the race. At 20:00, the Lamborghini crossed the finish line in P3 overall.
Brendon Leitch was the starting driver of the 2nd part of the 12h race at 14:30 on Sunday. As on the previous day, all four drivers as well as the Lamborghini GT3 showed a flawless race and crossed the finish line in P3 at 20:00, after repeated thrilling duels. 

The good work of the drivers, the team and the support of Lamborghini Squadra Corse in the GT3 debut of Leipert Motorsport was rewarded with the podium.
