GTM Pro 1: Emiliano Richards' Strong Performance

The GTM Pro 1 category saw intense competition from the start. Emiliano Richards began in a favorable position and, with a mix of strategic planning and efficient driving, took the victory. Throughout the race, Richards faced several challenges, particularly during the mid-laps, when Mario Domínguez closed the gap considerably.
