Two rounds of both Porsche Carrera Cup France and Porsche Supercup passed, and the Italian series is just about to open the season. But slow starters drive fast! And they are really fast!

One of the best places for fast driving is near Milan. It has been hosting for 93 (!) years already those who want to know who is the fastest. Autodromo Nazionale di Monza will welcome the first Porsche Carrera Cup Italia in the next weekend.

The racing weekend starts on Friday with the two 30-minute series of free practices.

The first qualification starts on Saturday, 9:20 a.m. (local time). We tried to tell about its format in a concise but not boring manner, and to give some information on other Porsche Carrera Cup Italia rules here. The second qualification starts at 9:50 a.m., and the start of the first race is scheduled for 3:55 p.m.

On Sunday the PCCI participants will enter the circuit again to gather qualification points at 12:20 p.m.

Our team has rather contradictory impressions of Monza. From one hand, the circuit is not the favorite one for our driver, Oleksandr Gaidai. But he finished there with the fifth result in absolute classification last year. Besides, it is anyway interesting, if favorite or not. There is always space for bright events (it's a hint: don't miss the live broadcasting on www.carreracupitalia.it). And finally Monza is a legend, and it should be treated with due respect! Not everyone can afford the speed exceeding 250 km/h in the age of 93!

And we are glad to remind that two cars in Tsunami RT colors will participate in Monza: Come Ledogar will participate in his first race for our team in Porsche Carrera Cup Italia.

We will keep you informed of all the news from the circuit on our Facebook page, and the detailed description of the race and the photo gallery will be presented on our website. Follow our news!
