Race 2 was definitely more chaotic. Due to the heavy rain, the race had to start under the Safety Car and then it was permanently stopped 17 minutes earlier with a red flag. The final results saw the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 of Stefano Pezzucchi and Giovanni Venturini (Imperiale Racing) and the one of Lamborghini GT3 Junior Drivers Riccardo Agostini and Alberto Di Folco (Antonelli Motorsport) occupy the second and third positions respectively.
