Kiano Blum has lost pole position for the first race of the ADAC GT Masters at the Lausitzring. The stewards penalised the Austrian for obstructing another car during qualifying.
During qualifying, Blum blocked Max Reis’s sister car. As a result, the Austrian driver has been demoted by one position on the starting grid and will now start the race from second place. Pole position has been taken by Sandro Holzem in the Schubert Motorsport BMW M4 GT3.
During the hearing with the stewards, Kiano Blum stated that he had misjudged the situation, as he had focused on Holzerm’s car, which was approaching much faster, and had made way for it, thereby unintentionally hindering Max Reis.
