Luchetti Takes First Win in Opener as Pedrini-Fraboni Make Strategy Work in Damp Second Race
Sant’Agata Bolognese/Nürburg, 31 August 2025 – The 2025 Target Racing season kicked off with a bang as Italian driver, Marco Luchetti, took the first win of the season in the opening race at the iconic Nürburgring circuit. Luchetti, driving for the Pedrini-Fraboni team, put on a masterful performance in the damp conditions, showcasing his skill and determination to take the top spot on the podium.
The first race of the season was met with challenging weather conditions, with rain pouring down on the track just moments before the start. This made for a tricky start for all the drivers, but Luchetti was able to keep his cool and make the most of the wet conditions. He quickly took the lead and never looked back, crossing the finish line with a comfortable margin of victory.
But it wasn’t just Luchetti’s skill behind the wheel that secured the win. The Pedrini-Fraboni team’s strategy played a crucial role in their success. With the track still damp, the team opted for a wet tire setup, which proved to be the right call. This allowed Luchetti to maintain his pace and control the race from start to finish.
The win was a special one for Luchetti, who had been waiting for his first victory in the Target Racing series. “I am overjoyed with this win,” he said in an interview after the race. “It’s been a long time coming, and I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the season. The team did an amazing job with the strategy, and the car was perfect in the wet conditions. I am grateful for this opportunity and will continue to push for more wins.”
The second race of the weekend proved to be just as eventful, with the Pedrini-Fraboni team once again showing their strategic prowess. With the track drying up, the team made the bold decision to switch to slick tires, a move that paid off in the end. Luchetti was able to make his way through the field and secure a second-place finish, just behind his teammate, Matteo Pedrini.
The one-two finish for the Pedrini-Fraboni team was a testament to their teamwork and ability to adapt to changing conditions. Team owner, Giorgio Fraboni, was ecstatic with the results. “This is a dream start to the season for us,” he said. “We have a strong team, and it’s great to see our drivers working together and supporting each other. We are confident that this is just the beginning of a successful season for us.”
The impressive performance by the Pedrini-Fraboni team has set the tone for the rest of the season, with other teams now looking to catch up. But Luchetti and his teammates are determined to maintain their momentum and continue to push for more wins.
The 2025 Target Racing season is shaping up to be an exciting one, with the Pedrini-Fraboni team proving to be a force to be reckoned with. As the series moves on to the next race, all eyes will be on Luchetti and his teammates, as they look to continue their winning streak and make their mark in the world of motorsports.
