KTM pulled off a notable triumph at the latest round of the Fanatec GT2 European Series powered by Pirelli, which formed part of the prestigious Spa 24 Hours weekend. Customer teams locked out all three podium spots in the Pro-Am class with their KTM X-BOW GT2. KTM also lifted the lid on its future development as a GT2 brand by unveiling an EVO version of the most popular car in the GT2 field.
Among the victors in the Ardennes were MZR. The KTM customer team, which has finished on the podium in every race so far this season, continued its successful year with two further podium finishes in Belgium. Reinhard Kofler and Martin Koch rounded out a successful weekend in race two, taking both the class win and the lead in the championship.
Simon Birch and Thomas Andersen also put together their best performance of the year so far in the GT2 European Series. “Wow, that was a really great weekend for us here in Belgium,” said Birch. “For the first time we were on the podium in both races.” The success of the 17-year-old Birch and his teammate demonstrated how well the KTM X-BOW GT2 concept is working, with young talent feeling just as comfortable behind the wheel as ambitious amateur drivers.
