The track in Imola beloved by our driver Oleksandr Gaidai brought two golden podiums to the Tsunami RT Centro Porsche Padova already. The track configuration has not changed from that time, so the direction of movement will be again anti-clockwise. The only thing that will change is how the drivers and the cars will be distributed for the race.
We will have the same team members participating in the sixth round of Porsche Carrera Cup Italy in Imola as in Vallelunga two weeks ago: Côme Ledogar will be driving the car under the 13th starting number, and Oleksandr Gaidai and Mikael Grenier will share the car No. 33.
All the three drivers like the track in Imola especially because it is difficult. As Mikael Grenier explained, it was not at all simple to drive the whole lap well gathering together all the sectors. But it is obvious: they are racers, and the more complicated the task, the more it is interesting!
