Medler showed great pace both on wet and dry tires and qualified in third place.
Medler had an excellent start in the race and ultimately finished the race in third place behind European star drivers Luca Ludwig and Giacomo Altoe. This was Medler's first podium in Europe. What a great accomplishment.
Medler sustained damage to his car during the start of the Sunday race. Despite the damage to the front and sides of his car, which made the car unstable and very difficult to steer, Medler continued to fight the entire race and finished the race in 6th place. When asked after the race why he did not retire the damaged car, Medler replied: "I wanted to finish the race and fight till the end. No way I was going to give up.
"I want to thank The Collection - Ferrari of Miami, Project IV Motorsports and our European partner Pellin Racing for giving me a competitive car. We have proven this weekend that we can compete with the best sports car drivers in the world.
"I love racing with Ferrari and I am grateful for all the opportunities Ferrari is giving me. I am looking forward to competing in the Ferrari Challenge Finali Mundiali in Imola in October. We will be ready."
Medler is being coached by Italian race car drivers Alessandro Balzam and Paulo Ruberti.
