Rik did an amazing stint and I tried to keep a steady and fast pace, which allowed us to win."Nigel Farmer - GDL Racing n. 27 (first in the PRO-AM class with Costantino Bertuzzi): "Fantastic! Two victories during my first weekend of the Super Trofeo Middle East! Costantino was fantastic and I enjoyed the race very much. The Huracan is incredible and high-performing and the whole atmosphere is also very friendly. "Davide Roda - Antonelli Motorsport n. 72 (first in the AM class with Marco Antonelli): "The race went very well today, since we started from the first row. Marco did a great stint and gave me the car in a great position. It was hard to keep the pace of Breukers and Jefferies, but I think I managed the race well and so we got another podium.
