An emotional victory was secured by Daniel Solis for Subaru at the third round of the 2026 Gran Turismo World Series in Singapore.
The American driver secured pole position in the top-six session and led the Autodrome Lago Maggiore (reverse) race from the first lap until the chequered flag.
However, it wasn’t straightforward for the Gran Turismo 7 competitors. Ferrari’s Nicolás Arriagada ran close behind the BRZ in the early stages, and then at the midpoint, opted for an alternative tyre strategy to the leader.
This left the 296 GT3 on the soft compound rubber for the final stint, compared to the hard option selected by Solis. The Ferrari was quicker, but started the final laps over 10 seconds behind.
On the final tour, the gap had closed to under one second, before the Subaru driver ran wide on the penultimate turn. This allowed Arriagada the close in and slipstream to the finish line, ending up just 0.1s behind.
