The German driver scored his first win in the GP Masters race beating team-mate Joaquin Folch, both in Brabham BT49s. His second win came in the following race when he shared his Mercedes C11 to win the inaugural Masters Sports-Prototype event, sharing the car with Folch. Glaesel’s GP Masters win was far from easy.

It was really hard in the chicane at the end of the lap because you need second. First gear was not right and in third it would stutter,” explained the German. Folch caught him and finished just 0.361s behind at flagfall, while Manfredo Rossi di Montelera (Brabham BT42) took third overall after an early duel w... less
