In its first year of participation in the legendary 24 Hours Nürburgring Race, the Giti Tire sponsored Dörr Motorsports Lamborghini Huracan GT3 achieved an impressive 2nd place finish in the SP8 category.

Despite a loss of 20 minutes due to a gearbox breakdown, Giti tires were able to carry the Lamborghini through difficult track and weather conditions in this grueling 24 hours race of 2,423 miles held on May 27-28.
