ALBACETE SE RESISTE A KIKE FERRER

Veröffentlicht am von

Este fin de semana se ha disputado la cuarta prueba puntuable para el Campeonato de España de Velocidad donde participa el piloto mallorquín Kike Ferrer dentro del equipo Neu Grip.
La "maldición" del trazado de Albacete comenzaba la pasada semana cuando el equipo se desplazaba a la prueba del Campeonato Mediterráneo de Velocidad , al igual que otros muchos equipos, para poder realizar un entrenamiento previo a la prueba del nacional ya que se celebraba en el mismo circuito de Albacere.
En los entrenamientos libres Kike lograba el mejor tiempo en la categoría Supersport con gran autoridad, al igual que en los dos entrenamientos cronometrados, Kike lograba la pole position y se colocaba primero en la clasificación.
Una vez marcado el mejor crono, la Yamaha de Kike fallaba y el equipo técnico tomaba la decisión de no participar en la carrera para no arriesgar en una prueba que no tenia otra finalidad que el propio entrenamiento.
Tras los problemas de la semana pasada, el equipo Neu Grip se presentaba en la prueba del CEV con los deberes hechos, con la moto a punto y el objetivo de conseguir un buen resultado.
Con un tiempo de 1:34.4 en los entrenamientos libres, Kike Ferrer se mostraba optimista y con ánimos de mejorar la puesta a punto de cara a los cronometrados.
Ferrer lograba rebajar un segundo su tiempo y realizaba los cronometrados en un 1:33.3 de cara a la carrera se colocaba como el tercer mejor piloto privado.
Tras la salida y una vez completada la primera vuelta, la moto de Kike se paraba y volvía a dejar al piloto mallorquín sin poder demostrar en la pista la evolución que está demostrando en los entrenamientos oficiales.
El ánimo del joven piloto no está en su mejor momento pero su optimismo y energía le devolverán la ilusión de cara a la próxima prueba del CEV que se disputará el próximo día 11 de octubre en el Circuit de Catalunya.

SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX F1/2009 - SINGAPORE 27/09/2009

Lewis Hamilton (Vodafone McLaren Mercedes) used a soft – soft – super soft Bridgestone tyre strategy to slingshot away from his rivals in a scintillating and gruelling Singapore Grand Prix. Hamilton won Formula One’s only night race from pole by just under ten seconds from Panasonic Toyota Racing driver Timo Glock with Renault F1 Team driver Fernando Alonso finishing third. Most drivers used the same tyre strategy as Hamilton.
Hiroshi Yasukawa – Director of Bridgestone Motorsport, says
“What a fantastic Grand Prix! We appreciate the great organisation required to put on such a race in this wonderful venue. Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton and Vodafone McLaren Mercedes for their second win of the season. Timo Glock will be very pleased with his second place, equalling Toyota’s best-ever result, and it is good to see strong performance from them heading to the Japanese Grand Prix. Renault and Fernando Alonso have also done very well to achieve a podium finish in such difficult circumstances.”

Hirohide Hamashima – Bridgestone Director of Motorsport Tyre Development, says
“This was a long and gruelling race, only four minutes short of two hours duration. Over this time the circuit became cleaner and cleaner and more rubber was laid meaning a better track surface. This meant that degradation was better than seen earlier in the week. Indeed, brake degradation was a bigger concern for some competitors. Most drivers used the same tyre strategy; however with the information we have after the race, two stints using the super soft was a realistic option. Driver style and car set-up and characteristics defined the tyre performance on this difficult track. Nico Rosberg completed nearly half race distance on the super soft showing that it had solid durability today.”

Sanremo victory crowns champion year for Meeke

Veröffentlicht am von

Kris Meeke has claimed the 2009 Intercontinental Rally Challenge title in fine style, with victory on this weekend’s Rallye Sanremo.
The Peugeot UK driver fought back from fourth place overnight to take the lead on the final morning in the mountains on the Italian Riviera. Despite the pounding given to his brakes on the twisting asphalt stages, he prevailed for his fourth win of the season to become the first British driver to win the IRC.
“We never could have expected this to happen,” said a slightly disbelieving Meeke as he crossed the line. “There’s so many people I have to thank for the opportunity, I’m only one link in the chain and there’s a long chain of people who helped make it happen and without any one of the them the chain would have been broken.”
The rally began with Meeke just one point ahead of Czech ace Jan Kopecky in the works Skoda Fabia S2000. Kopecky got off to a flying start to win the first stage, but then crashed in the middle of the second stage and suffered irreparable suspension damage.
This left the way clear for a major battle for honours between two Italian drivers – the works Abarth Grande Punto S2000 of Luca Rossetti and the Peugeot 207 S2000 of Paolo Andreucci – while Meeke suffered from overheating brakes in fourth place.
At the overnight halt Andreucci held a slender advantage while Rossetti was unable to get the car handling how he wanted it to. At the start of the final day, however, Rossetti was far happier in his car while Andreucci’s Pirelli tyres – unique among the front-runners – struggled for grip and left him fighting a defensive battle for the rest of the rally.
Meeke, meanwhile, had started the second day in a champion’s style, winning the first stage by 10 seconds and the second stage by a further 8.3 seconds. On the final stage of the morning he lost 10 seconds after more brake trouble and a nervous time was had at the service halt.
“The opening night’s stages were interesting to say the least, then it all just clicked and I got a rhythm,” Meeke said. “The pacenotes were inch-perfect and I honestly couldn’t believe the times!
“I had a few troubles with the brakes on the second stage this morning,” he explained. “I was able to drain it while driving to the next stage, but I couldn’t put all the fluid back because of a defective pipe so we had next to no brakes at all – but fortunately it was short and up-hill!”
While Rossetti was able to regain ground on Meeke through the short stage, last year’s IRC champion Nicolas Vouilloz was unable to capitalise in his Peugeot Benelux-entered 207 S2000. A puncture on the first stage of the day cost him time that blunted his challenge for victory, and passed the initiative to team-mate Freddy Loix in their battle for third place in the overall points.
Both Vouilloz and Meeke recovered their earlier pace on the penultimate stage, however. Meeke extended his lead once again and Vouilloz reclaimed third position from the struggling Andreucci, but then lost ground to local man Roberto Travaglia who just edged him into fourth place at the finish by 0.4 seconds.
In a dramatic twist, Travaglia then incurred a 30 second time penalty on the road, dropping him to sixth and promoting Vouilloz back to the podium=

Andy Soucek Q&A

Soucek leads the field in Imola

A third place finish in race one at Imola last Saturday (19 September) secured the FIA Formula Two Championship title for Andy Soucek, and the Spaniard went on to celebrate his achievement in style by storming to his fifth victory of the season in race two. Speaking to www.formulatwo.com, the newly crowned champion reflects on a fantastic campaign in F2 and talks about his burning Formula One ambition…

You’ve had a few days to reflect on the weekend; how does it feel to be the 2009 FIA Formula Two Champion?

It feels great! It has been a very special season, the best of my career. I not only won the championship, but I won with a good margin, and I have to be proud of everything I achieved. Hopefully it will open new doors for me: already a lot of people in the world of Formula One know me better than before, and the news has travelled around the world. No-one will ever be able to take away my title in Formula Two, and I will be able to look back on this for the rest of my career.

What are your hopes for F1?

I’m very positive that my dream can become true. I just feel like I’m at the right moment – I’m in the right place and with the right people, and this is my big chance, my dream. It doesn’t mean that I will get my chance for sure, but for me this is the right moment.

Things have changed quite a lot since F2 last ran in 1984, but F2 is still a category where young drivers can get themselves into Formula One. I know back then every champion progressed into F1, so I’m hoping to continue the trend as the first winner of the new series. I had a great championship, scored a lot of points, and brought the car home in almost every race. I think F1 teams look not only at the winner of every championship but also at the most complete driver. That’s why I think I’m in the right moment and I’ve showed it this year. It was not only the number of races I won, it was my consistency at the front that made it such a great year for me, and I think I can have similar success in F1 as well.

How did you feel about the video message you received from Sir Frank Williams and Patrick Head congratulating you on your success?

It was incredibly emotional. I’m a realistic and humble person, and I really never expected to have a Formula One team boss – let alone such an important one, because he is one of the most successful ever – like Sir Frank Williams or Patrick Head giving me a message saying that they hope I can achieve my dreams of going into Formula One. It really was like a dream seeing that; it was very emotional, and something I will never forget. Hopefully they are right in what they said!

What will you do to prepare for your test with Williams later this year?

I’m very well prepared now. I started to train my neck as soon as I got back from Imola, because I think that is the one part of my body where the g-forces are different in F1. They have steering assistance, so there won’t be too much force on my arms, but you need a strong neck for sure. I hope to be in peak physical condition for the test, but I have never stopped training and I am fitter than ever so I don’t see it being an issue.

Have you had any contact with other F1 teams?

Whilst we are not currently in negotiations with any other teams in F1, we are in contact with a few and I think that will probably intensify in the next few weeks. First we have to digest winning the F2 title, and then we will have to make a plan of which teams will be good for me and for my career, if they are interested, and work these things out. I know Adrian (Campos) from a lot of years ago and for sure I would be very happy to race for them, a Spanish team, but we are looking at other options as well.

How does this season compare to the rest of your career?

I think this was the best season, because now I am much more complete as a driver. I remember other great seasons like Spanish Formula 3, when I won the championship, and also World Series by Renault when I was challenging for the championship in the final weekend. I think I became a better driver when I moved into GP2 because I gained maturity and experience, but this year I think I have come on even more – everything just clicked and I feel very confident in myself.

Was there a weekend when it all came together this season, or was it a gradual process?

I think I was a bit unlucky in the first weekend in Valencia, but I think I was also a bit over motivated and was expecting to win at my home race, especially after running so well in testing. To be honest perhaps it was a bit of a surprise to have Robert Wickens in such good shape for that weekend – I really expected more and it was kind of a bad weekend for me. For the rest of the season though, really starting from the second race in Brno, everything has been pretty much perfect.

Does winning the championship vindicate your decision to race in Formula Two this year?

Absolutely. It was a group decision I made with my manager and my father to move into Formula Two. It wasn’t just the relatively low cost of competing, but the backing of the FIA, the prize of a test drive with Williams – the combination of all of these things made it a great championship to join. At the start we imagined the best scenario would be to win, but I haven’t just done that, I won it by distinction and that has made it very special. We also really believed in Jonathan Palmer and had heard a lot of good things about him. At the end of the day Formula Two has given me the opportunity to prove my potential in Formula One machinery with Williams, so it was exactly the right decision for me to have made.

How does the level of competition in F2 compare to that of a series like GP2?

I have always said that the drivers in F2 improve with every race, so I had to make sure I was doing the same otherwise I would lose ground. In that sense the level of competition is very high, and I had to become better and better in order to stay at the front, which has helped me as a driver. The car is very strong, with paddleshift gears, very good brakes and a powerful engine, so it’s good training. There are some young guys who have really improved recently, so it keeps getting harder.

Andreucci flies as Kopecky crashes out in Sanremo

Veröffentlicht am von

Italian rally stars dominate the top positions at the end of the opening day of the Rallye Sanremo, round 10 of the 2009 Intercontinental Rally Challenge. The classic Italian event, taking place on the mountainous roads around the Riviera town of Sanremo, has become a two-way battle between the privately-entered Peugeot 207 S2000 of Paolo Andreucci and the works Abarth Grande Punto S2000 of Luca Rossetti – separated by just 1.7 seconds at the overnight halt.
“I’m very happy, everything was fine. I didn’t expect to be ahead of everybody before the long stage,” said Andreucci at the overnight halt.
“I’m not so happy with the setup of my car, but it was impossible to change anything and be confident, so we had to leave it,” said Rossetti. “Hopefully tomorrow we can make a good fight with Paolo.”
The first stage was won by Czech hero Jan Kopecky, title challenger in the works Skoda Fabia S2000 and looking for his third consecutive victory in this year’s series. Disaster struck halfway through SS2 however, when he broke a wheel and was eliminated from the event. This passed the initiative to Peugeot UK’s championship leader Kris Meeke, but the British ace has been unable to capitalise so far and trails in fourth place behind the Italian pacesetters and Peugeot Benelux’s defending IRC champion Nicolas Vouilloz.
“I learned that Kopeky retired just before the start of SS3 and I lost my concentration and I couldn’t find the right rhythm,” Meeke admitted. “Then I had some brake problems both on SS3 and the long final stage, which is sort of my fault as I settle the car by left-foot braking and over 40km the heat builds up. I have to try to get as many points as possible here, they are going to be very important.”
The second Benelux Peugeot of Belgian veteran Freddy Loix lies fifth and has closed up fast on the points leader during the course of tonight’s fourth stage – the daunting 40km SS4 called Cuori. The rest of the regular contenders have found themselves locked out of the points positions by an armada of Italian talent, with Renato Travaglia (Peugeot), Piero Longhi (Skoda) and Umberto Scandola (Abarth) keeping well ahead of works Skoda driver Juho Hanninen in 11th, the lone Proton of Guy Wilks in 15th and the Ralliart of Franz Wittmann in 25th.
In the IRC 2WD Cup category, Honda teams blasted back into action with a vengeance. Having been left unrepresented in the previous round, the Rally Principe de Asturias in Oviedo, Spain, the rapid Honda Civic Type R machines have shone in the class on the twisting asphalt. Another promising Italian, Sandro Sottile, leads from championship leader, Frenchman Denis Millet, in his turbocharged Peugeot 207.
Overall Positions after 4 out of 9 stages
1 Paolo Andreucci (I) – Peugeot 207 S2000 – 58m 13.9s

LADA’S GREAT ITALIAN WEEKEND
Imola marked an historical moment for the LADA Sport team, as James Thompson scored the Russian manufacturers‘ first WTCC points.
In the first race the Briton took advantage of the pile up at the start and defended his sixth position from D’Aste, Hernández, Menu and Porteiro. In the Race 2 he overtook Hernández for fifth – just behind the leading group – before being demoted by Gené to sixth again.
But besides the two results, the pace of his LADA Priora car was stunning. Placed in the middle of the field for the practice and qualifying sessions, Thompson clocked competitive laps throughout the two races. The progress of the Russian car was confirmed by Jaap van Lagen’s performance in Race 1; the Dutchman was lying tenth in Race 1 before rolling of the track after a collision with only three laps to go.
"It’s been a great weekend for Lada on a circuit that I love, and this pair of results definitely shows that we are making progress. The car seems to be getting better and better. We’ve got to be realistic as there is still plenty to do, but this is certainly a sign that we are heading in the right direction," said Thompson.
Team Principal Viktor Shapovalov echoed: "Not only have we scored our first points, in both races, but we have also improved our pace to the point where we can really compete with our rivals. We can be very proud of everything we have achieved so far. I would like to thank our drivers and all our team members for doing such a great job."

TARQUINI WINS GOLF TOURNAMENT
Gabriele Tarquini is in a great shape. Two days after winning the first race in Imola and stretching his WTCC championship lead, the SEAT Sport driver has claimed another success in the second edition of the Green Golf Tour promoted by Eurosport Events.
Just like in 2008 Tarquini emerged as the winner in the 3rd Category of the 36-hole Stableford golf tournament that took place Monday and Tuesday at the San Valentino golf club in Castellarano, Italy.
WTCC chief timekeeper Mike Salmon, of MST, won the 2nd category, WTCC team coordinator Nunzia Corvino claimed victory in the Ladies Trophy, while Glen Valente, marketing director of HSBC Latin America topped the overall classification and was awarded with the WTCC World Amateur Cup.

International GT Open and Superleague Formula to share Monza weekend (October 3/4)

Veröffentlicht am von

Italian fans to enjoy the excitement of both top level GT and single seater racing

Italian motorsport fans will have the chance to enjoy a very special racing event on 3/4 October when the legendary Autodromo Nazionale in Monza, near Milan, hosts the first ever International GT Open and Superleague Formula joint weekend. The event will bring together the excitement of both GT and single-seater racing in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Despite both being relatively young, the series’ have been hailed as two of the most interesting developments in their respective categories throughout world motorsport in recent years.
The International GT Open, launched in 2006 by GT Sport Organización, has grown steadily to become one of the most exciting platforms for GT2 and GT3 pro-am racing. The series’ format is built around a race of 70 minutes on Saturday and one of 50 minutes on Sunday, with Monza being the sixth round in an eight-event calendar. All the most prestigious GT marques, such as Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Corvette, Dodge, Sun-Red, etc are represented in the International GT Open, alongside some of the top teams and drivers from around the GT world.

After the French round in Magny-Cours last week-end, the battle for the title in the 2009 International GT Open looks as close as ever, with a traditional Porsche-Ferrari duel at the top. Currently, Italy’s Gianluca Roda and Porsche’s Austrian works driver Richard Lietz lead the points table (146) with their Autorlando Porsche 997 RSR ahead of the Trottet Ferrari F430 of Swiss aces Marcel Fässler and Joël Camathias by only two points (144), while Philipp Peter and Michal Broniszewski are dominating the GTS category with their Kessel Ferrari F430 GT3.  
Launched in 2008, Superleague Formula has taken shape by merging two of the world’s most popular sports. As a truly unique spectacle in motor racing, the series combines the passion of football with the dazzling emotions of motor sport, resulting in a top-notch competition among highly-powerful V12-engined cars, delivering more than 750 horsepower and adorned with the colors of their respective football club. Over the last two years, the series has been supported by the most renowned names in soccer with the of likes AC Milan, Liverpool FC, Olympique Lyonnais, AS Roma, Atlético Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur, Corinthians and Olympiacos all joining the grid.
AC Milan and AS Roma will be lining-up at Monza for the most anticipated event of their 2009 seasons, with the chance to shine on home soil providing extra-motivation to perform for  local driver and reigning GP2 champion Giorgio Pantano. It’s Liverpool’s Adrian Valles however who comes into the fifth round eager to defend his comfortable championship lead with only four races remaining in 2009.
The Reds have notched up 282 points so far, leading fellow English club Tottenham Hotspur by 58 points with Swiss squad FC Basel a further one back. AC Milan (212 points) meanwhile will be hoping to trim the gap to the top three in Italy, before heading for the season finale at Jarama in Spain this November. Not to be discounted will be Sevilla’s Sebastien Bourdais who won on debut in Portugal last weekend while fellow ex-F1 driver Antonio Pizzonia continues to search for his first victory, despite having scored three pole positions, at the wheel of Corinthians.  The Superleague Formula weekend format features two points scoring races of 40minutes + 1 lap each. The six top-scoring drivers then progress through to the Super Final, where €100,000 in prize money awaits the winner of the five lap shootout.
The Monza program also includes the Euro F3 Open, one of the most competitive Formula 3 championships in Europe, which has most recently provided a spring-board for the likes of Toro Rosso F1 driver Jaime Alguersuari, F2 championship leader Andy Soucek and Superleague Formula’s Nelson Panciatici. The intense racing program is completed by the Campionato Italiano Prototipi, the Formula Academy EuroSeries, the F.Azzurra and the 45th Trofeo Cadetti F.Junior Monza.
Fans unable to attend will not miss out though with all the races to be broadcast live in Italy by Nuvolari. International GT Open also benefits from live coverage in Spain (Canal+) and Portugal (Sport TV), as well as from delayed coverage throughout Europe thanks to Eurosport and Motors TV. Eurosport 2 meanwhile will carry Superleague Formula Race 1 and Super Final coverage in the UK.
Jesús Pareja, organizer of the International GT Open, said, “We are delighted to provide Italian fans with such a rich and exciting racing weekend which will be marked as the first joint effort between ourselves and Superleague Formula, which could lead to further cooperation in the future.”
Alex Andreu, Superleague Formula CEO and President, said, “It’s great to be linking up with the International GT Open at Monza. The mix of junior motorsport, GT racing and high-powered single seaters means there’s something for everyone. Motorsport can be expensive to come along and watch so it’s great to have put together such a high-profile bill that the fans can enjoy.”

Erfreulicher Saisonabschluss am Berg für Joe Schmitz

Veröffentlicht am von
Antworten

Zum Saisonfinale der Luxemburger Bergmeisterschaft trat Joe Schmitz in Trôs Marets, in der Nähe von Malmedy, wiederrum im Mygale-BMW K1 an. Da über Jahre dort keine Rennen mehr stattgefunden hatten, konnte niemand der Teilnehmer Erfahrungswerte aufzeigen – dementsprechend war Vorsicht geboten. Bei seinen drei Aufstiegen konnte Schmitz sich jedesmal steigern, im ersten Durchgang realisierte er 2’07’’743, dann folgte 2’07’’545 und beim letzten Versuch drückte er die Zeit auf 2’05’’151. Bei 60 Teilnehmern sprang somit ein zufriedenstellender 13. Gesamtrang heraus, dies war gleichbedeutend mit dem zweiten Platz in der Luxemburger Wertung.

Durch den heranstürmenden Guy Demuth (Formel 3000), der punktegleich mit dem bereits feststehenden Meister Léon Linden (Formel 3) – die Punktezahl in den Divisionen gab den Ausschlag bei der Vergabe des Titels – zog, rutschte Bob Kellen, Sieger bei den Tourenwagen und GT, auf den dritten Rang in der Meisterschaft ab. Demzufolge konnte Joe Schmitz seinen Podestplatz nicht mehr halten und wurde auf Platz vier abgedrängt.

Im « Volant sportif » belegt Joe Schmitz (710 Punkte) hinter Bob Kellen (731) Platz zwei, auf Rang drei folgt Yves Kremer (489).

La Copa Vallés Primoti visitará este fin de semana el Circuito de Oliva
EL EQUIPO MS MOTORSPORT A POR NOTA EN OLIVA
Campanet, (Mallorca, Illes Balears), jueves 24 de septiembre de 2009.
La cuarta prueba de la Copa Vallés se disputará los días 26 y 27 de septiembre en
el Circuito de Oliva, un escenario que le trae grandes recuerdos a Miguel Socías,
ya que aquí fue donde logró su primer podio de la temporada, de ahí que el equipo
aspire a puntuar con nota alta.
Después de la última carrera el kart AVK ha sido totalmente revisado y ya esta listo
para dar lo mejor de sí en la cita valenciana, donde de nuevo se sortearán los motores
de la copa. Los neumáticos serán los habituales del certamen, los Vega Cadetti en
compuesto duro, en caso de competir en condiciones de lluvia se utilizarán las gomas
de la firma Maxxis. El sábado se realizarán cinco sesiones de entrenamientos libres
siendo obligatorio utilizar el motor de la copa en las dos últimas tandas. En la matinal
del domingo se efectuarán los entrenamientos oficiales y cronometrados. Posteriormente
se disputarán las dos carreras.
El balear esta instalado en la quinta posición provisional de la Copa Vallés a cinco
puntos del cuarto clasificado y su objetivo es hacer una buena carrera e intentar
superar a su inmediato rival en el campeonato. Hay que decir que no será tarea fácil,
pero Miguel Socías llega a este trazado con la moral muy alta y con ganas de dar
guerra. La semana pasada estuvo compitiendo en Villena y a punto estuvo de subirse
al podio.
"Así como en el Circuito de Chicharra Karts nunca he tenido mucha suerte, en Oliva
me encuentro muy bien, me gusta mucho el trazado y tengo un agradable recuerdo
de una carrera que disputé aquí en el Campeonato del Mediterráneo. Mi principal
objetivo es intentar alcanzar el cuarto puesto de la provisional, sé que no es tarea
fácil, pero todo el equipo está muy motivado, y no se perderá por mi parte." Apuntaba
el piloto alevín antes de partir hacia tierras alicantinas.

Tenía que llegar y llegó, después de los intensos fines de semana que está teniendo el joven piloto mallorquín, en los diferentes Campeonatos de karting en los que está compitiendo. Juan Carlos consiguió su primer podio en el Campeonato Valenciano del Mediterráneo 2009, carrera disputada en el Circuito Chicharra karts de Villena en Alicante.

Ya en los entrenamientos clasificatorios, Juan Carlos se colocaba en el 5º mejor puesto de la parrilla, para en la primera manga de carrera colocarse a pocas vueltas del inicio en la 3ª posición, pero una avería técnica le obligaba a entrar en boxes, subsanandola de inmediato su equipo de mecánicos, y aunque perdia opciones de conseguir el podio, Juan Carlos remontaria hasta la 11ª posición.

Juan Carlos, todavía muy animado saldría en la segunda y última manga de carrera en el 11º puesto de la parrilla, realizando una espectacular remontada que ya en la primera curva se colocaba en el 7º puesto para vuelta tras vuelta ir recuperando posiciones, hasta conseguir en las últimas tres curvas de la última vuelta la 3ª plaza final, que le valdría su primer podio del Campeonato.

Juan Carlos, fue felicitado por la organización y como no, por su equipo capitaneado por James Geidel del equipo MIRA Motorsport. que se desplazó para la ocasión, y por su inseparable jefe de equipo Angel Campos.

Juan Carlos comentaba: “Estoy muy emocionado y contento”.
