Sant’Agata Bolognese/Nürburg, 31 August 2025 – The 2025 Target Racing season kicked off with a bang as Italian driver, Luca Luchetti, took the first win of the season in the opening race at the Nürburgring. Luchetti, driving for the Pedrini-Fraboni team, showed impressive skill and determination on the wet track, securing a well-deserved victory. But it was not just Luchetti’s driving that led to the win, as the team’s strategic decisions played a crucial role in the damp second race.
The first race of the season was met with challenging weather conditions, with heavy rain pouring down on the track. This made for a thrilling and unpredictable race, with drivers struggling to maintain control of their cars. However, Luchetti showed his expertise in wet conditions, skillfully navigating the treacherous track and taking the lead early on in the race. Despite intense competition from other drivers, Luchetti held his ground and crossed the finish line in first place, claiming the first victory of the season.
But it was the second race that truly showcased the teamwork and strategic prowess of the Pedrini-Fraboni team. With the track still damp from the rain, the team made a bold decision to switch to wet tires for Luchetti’s car. This proved to be a game-changing move, as Luchetti was able to maintain a consistent pace and gain an advantage over his competitors. As the race progressed, the track began to dry out, and most drivers were forced to make a pit stop to switch to dry tires. However, Luchetti’s wet tires proved to be the right choice, allowing him to maintain his lead and cross the finish line in first place once again.
The team’s strategy paid off, and Luchetti secured a double win, making him the clear leader in the championship standings. Speaking after the race, Luchetti expressed his gratitude to the team, saying, “I couldn’t have done it without the support and strategic decisions of the Pedrini-Fraboni team. They made the right call with the wet tires, and it gave me the advantage I needed to secure the win.”
Team manager, Marco Pedrini, also praised the team’s efforts, saying, “We knew the weather conditions would play a crucial role in the race, and we had to make some bold decisions. I’m proud of the team for their quick thinking and teamwork, which ultimately led to our first win of the season.”
The impressive performance of the Pedrini-Fraboni team has set the tone for the rest of the season, with their competitors now on high alert. But the team remains humble and focused, knowing that there is still a long way to go in the championship.
The 2025 Target Racing season is off to an exciting start, and fans can expect more thrilling races and impressive performances from the Pedrini-Fraboni team.
