Safronov and Vaintrub - CHAMPIONS again - this time in GT4 European Series
Sunday, October 12, 2025
Having defended a slender class lead into this final round of the season, race one’s Safety Car affected race at the Circuit de Catalunya didn’t exactly play out well for the #7 Vantage GT4 crew as their lowly P6 in class finish yesterday left them with it all to do today.
This weekend’s finale didn’t exactly get off to the best of starts as the #39 Racing Spirit of Leman Vantage GT4 of Baudouin Detout and Cement Seyler did not take part in any of the event although (certainly) Seyler was at the circuit.
The other two silver class entries from the same two teams continued with their unfortunate tale of woe for the season in race one as both cars came to grief (in separate incidents) after the Safety Car restart just ahead of the halfway stage to the race that saw both crews listing another DNF to their season.
Going into today’s final hour long race, the battle was certainly on for the #7 crew but were at least starting ahead of their Porsche rivals but the ultimate defining event came upon the opening lap again when the #32 Porsche was involved in one of three separate incidences upon track that saw them sustain race ending damage – effectively giving the Pro-Am crown to the #7 crew regardless of the eventual race result.
This also gives Safronov and Vaintrub the SRO GT4 double having earlier secured the sister FFSA GT4 Pro-Am Championship win as well.
