Bruno Coelho double at inaugural GTS race
Last weekend was the first race of the new-for-2021 GT Series (GTS) at the fantastic Vallelunga RC track in Italy. With a lot of drivers attending the event from mid week to test and learn the track it was building up to be a great race. The Xray team had a strong team present with Bruno Coelho and Martin Bayer heading the entry, and from qualifying onwards Coelho was dominant, taking the TQ spot in both Nitro and Electric with his GTX and GTXE respectively. In the finals it was more of the same as the Portuguese driver took the wins in both classes ahead of team mate Bayer in both, with SWorkz racers Leonardo Valente in 3rd in Nitro while Natanaele Senesi took his Serpent to the final podium spot in the EP class.
