GT World Challenge in Monza: the season starts now!

25th April 2023 GT World Challenge

This meeting in Italian colours was marked by great firsts: the first race of the season, the first real drives of the Porsche 911 GT3 R.

During this event, the drivers were confronted with uncertain weather conditions, rain was announced but did not show up. It was therefore on a dry track that the race took place. Despite starting in thirteenth position, the CLRT team managed to finish in seventh place, which is an encouraging result for the rest of the season.

"I would like to underline the great work of the team, which has done a perfect technical performance, coordinated by Côme, our team manager, and Maxence, the engineer. From a sporting point of view, our team, composed of Steven PALETTE, Hugo CHEVALLIER and myself, was at the top, both in terms of performance and speed.

Although we still had to gain in terms of prowess to get closer to the lead, we managed to make a good start to the season. The level of the GT world challenge is high as it is every year, but we are refining our cursor and all working together to improve our performance."

Clément Mateu, HEXIS manager and driver of the Porsche 911 GT3 R

A moment of sharing and conviviality at the heart of a unique atmosphere that brings together the best of GT!

Many HEXIS customers from Italy and Switzerland accepted the driver's invitation and came to live this unique experience, while discovering the automotive range BODYFENCE and SHAG and seeing the new MATMAK, soon available...

"A big thank you also to Jérôme and my darling Christina for their unfailing support, to Hexis Graphics for their work and big up to the communication agency Aur&va who accompanied me throughout the season.

I'm looking forward to continuing this incredible human adventure with my team and continuing to progress on the circuits."
