Pitlane start to P2 in class! @riabokobylko & @pi.gabriele did an amazing job in the early hours of the race, setting us up to bring the car home on the podium 🫶🏼 Proud of the whole @winwardeurope crew for their relentless work and i’m so happy for everyone that we brought this success home after our recent downs and bad luck! All eyes forward to our the next round in Monza 🇮🇹
Qualifying done. Time to race.
Busy day at Paul Ricard – prep work… and then it mattered.
Three Qualifying sessions, tight margins, no room for mistakes.
The result:
Pole position for the #48.
Right lap, right timing – delivered when it counted.
The #87 didn’t continue in Q2, but will still be on the grid for the race.
Strong start to the weekend – but Paul Ricard is a different game over distance.
Race starts at 18:00 CET.
6 hours ahead. Strategy, consistency, execution.
Everything in place.
Let’s go racing.

Records aren’t just broken - they’re redefined.
I had the honor of being part of something truly historic behind the wheel of the CONCEPT AMG GT XX,
In just 24 hours, we covered 5,479 km, achieving the longest distance EVER driven by an electric vehicle in that time, beating the previous record by more than 1,500 km, and we did not stop there! Over the course of a week, we drove the distance of the Earth’s equator: 40,075 km in just 7 days, 13 hours, 24 minutes and 07 seconds. On average, the car delivered more than 5,300 km per day, much of it at speeds around 300 km/h. The result: 25 world records set in one campaign.
This wasn’t just about speed - it was about technology, endurance, precision, and above all, teamwork. Being part of this record-breaking mission is something I’ll carry with me forever. THANK YOU!

Winners in Race 2. The #81 with Marvin & Rinat took P1 in class – after already finishing P2 yesterday.
Strong result and well deserved. ✅
The Mamba #48 with Maro & Luggi came home in P8 today. Tough weekend, especially for the 48. We lacked pace at times and it showed. Not the outcome we hoped for, but we keep pushing.
One side smiling, one side grinding.
That’s racing.
Thanks to all our fans for the support, the messages and the love 💙
Next up: DTM Nürburgring next weekend. Let’s reset and race again. 🔥
