Raghunathan drove car number 51 for AF CORSE, teamed with Lorenzo Ferrari and Riccardo Ponzio, piloting a Ferrari 296 GT3 and the trio scored 12 points in the main race. The race began with the AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 team starting from P2 after a great qualifying lap by Raghunathan\u2019s teammate, who held the position solidly through the first stint. During his own stint, Raghunathan faced intense challenges as several lapped GT Cup cars appeared just ahead after the pit window, costing crucial time as he carefully overtook without contact. Despite being compromised by traffic, he executed the manoeuvres cleanly and preserved position with disciplined race craft<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Throughout his second stint, Raghunathan displayed mature defensive skills, including holding off a direct challenger for the entire stint while constantly navigating around slower GT Cup traffic\u2014especially difficult on Mugello\u2019s tight and technical layout.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
