Round 1: Japan
Despite dominating pre-season testing, Gatsby Automotive couldn’t convert raw pace into double-class wins. In GTD Pro, it was Mercedes- Benz #78 that delivered the cleanest run—22 laps and a best time of 9.895s—to take the early lead with 32 points. Gatsby’s #18 followed closely with 29 points, clocking the fastest lap of the event (8.763s) but missing out by a lap.
In GTM Am, Aston Martin #34 shocked the field with a flawless 22-lap effort and 32 points, edging out Gatsby’s #14, which also impressed with 30 points and a strong 8.990s best lap.
Together, Gatsby’s Pro and Am entries earned 59 points, giving them the lead in the Constructors' Championship, just two points clear of Aston Martin heading into Monaco for Round 2, where grid order will now be determined by class standings
