Rossi “upset” to lose Gulf 12 Hours victory shot after bizarre pedal issue

Despite this setback, they were able to finish second in their WRT-run BMW M4. Rossi expressed disappointment because they had a chance to win, but the issue with the pedal box prevented them from doing so. However, he was still pleased with the team’s performance throughout the season and their overall improvement. The race was ultimately won by GruppeM Racing’s Mercedes-AMG GT3, with Jules Gounon claiming the Intercontinental GT Challenge title in his 2 Seas Motorsport Mercedes.
