The DUQUEINE D08 continues to dominate the podiums in Prototype German Cup and IMSA.
Two weeks after Zandvoort and Watkins, the Prototype German Cup and IMSA both returned on track this weekend at Norisring and Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. The DUQUEINE's continued their impressive performances in each race, bringing home several podium finishes and victories in both competitions.
PROTOTYPE GERMAN CUP
It was a flawless weekend for the German D08s as they secured at least the top three positions in each race and qualifying session. On Saturday, the KOIRANEN n°72 took the lead in the first race, followed by the Racing Experience n°15 and the Van Ommen Racing n°6. Eventually, Racing Experience climbed to the first position, leading the race from the very first lap. Behind them, both Van Ommens stepped onto the podium together for the first time. In the second race, five DUQUEINE started at the front, with the DKR n° 77 in pole position. The KOIRANEN 78 got its payback from the first race, finishing in first place for the second race. Despite a collision during the battle for the lead, the Mücke number 8 car fought back and finished the race in second position, ahead of the first race winner.
