Intense competition lit up the European sports car racing scene as Kiano Blum and Niklas Kalus successfully secured a dominant maiden victory of the season for the American manufacturer. Piloting the powerful machinery from the Haupt Racing Team, the talented duo showcased a superior pace during the closing stages of the race at the legendary Hockenheimring circuit.
Despite displaying remarkable speed on the German asphalt, this sweet result came with the bitter reality that they had completely lost any mathematical chances in the 2026 championship title fight. The sheer dominance they exhibited near the finish line proved the undeniable technical potential of their charger, even though season-long consistency ultimately derailed their title aspirations.
Major drama unfolded moments after the pit stop window officially closed, when the sports car fielded by razoon and driven by Colin Bonighausen suffered a heavy crash at the first corner. Having started the race from pole position, a driving error by the young German driver sent his vehicle slamming violently into the barrier, forcing officials to neutralize the race with a Full Course Yellow.
Capitalizing on the chaos and the subsequent strategic shifts at the front, Felix Hirsiger alongside teammate Finn Zulauf steered their machine across the finish line in second place. Leveraging the steady performance of their Italian-built contender, the duo collected crucial points to take over the championship standings lead ahead of tomorrow's season finale.
Meanwhile, the final step of the podium in this opening race was claimed by the pairing of Simon Connor Primm and Robin Rogalski after surviving a fierce battle against chasing competitors. The championship fight is guaranteed to reach a fever pitch during tomorrow's title-deciding race. Read our in-depth analysis, points update, and weekend schedule right here.
