When the members of our team hear 'Mugello', they begin to smile dreamily: the last year race is the one we cannot forget! Not every weekend your pilot ignores the appeals to go change the tires and is forging with the slicks to his first silver podium in absolute classification...
What will be Mugello like this year, on the 3rd Porsche Carrera Cup Italia round?
It's not cool in Italy in midsummer, of course, unless you are in the underground of a medieval castle. So 29°C above zero can be foreseen even without meteorologists. There is no rain in the forecast this time, but who knows...
O. Gaidai:"Mugello is a very broad track with significant level differences and very abrasive asphalt. The first part is very skillful, and the second one is more dangerous, more speedy. The third sector is a plain part and a speedy chicane. It's the second track after Imola I like to drive on."
