Season opening round of NEZ6H Endurance series in Bikernieki racetrack was hot as hell with “Flash Racing Latvia” brand new Lamborghini on fire and other intense moments. 24 teams began the new NEZ season in Riga, on top of the podium finish reached “Circle K milesPLUS Racing Team” from Lithuania with drivers Jonas Karklys, Julius Adomavičius, Jonas Gelžinis and Ignas Gelžinis (Porsche GT3).

Unfortunately, the race ended quite dramatic. “Flash Racing Latvia” was in a strong lead, but after almost three hours of racing, the car slipped and lightly crashed into the barier, but was able to return to the track to get to the service park where some technical improvements were made and they returned to race. When they came to refuel, the car came on fire and Bikernieki racetrack took over a big smoke cloud. The race for the team was over.
