"The more we deliver, the better", as a protagonist of the well-known comedy said. In line with this principle, we deliver three Porsches in Tsunami RT Centro Porsche Padova colors to the starting grid in Imola.
So, three crews go to the second Porsche Carrera Cup round in Imola. Oleksandr Gaidai and Côme Ledogar will share one car, as in the previous round. They will participate in one short race each, making shifts during the third long race. Matteo Torta and Mikael Grenier are provided with their own cars. Let us remind you that they will get qualification points for the best of the two short races in this case, and they will also have to drive to the pit lane and spend some time there during the endurance round.
M.Torta: " I must thank the team that will give me the opportunity to do the race alone. This will allow me to do some kilometers and grow faster. I wish Mik, Alex and Côme to do a great weekend. My goal will be to stay in the car and learn to get as high as possible, trying to improve the performance of Monza".
M.Grenier: " First of all thank you to Tsunami RT and all my sponsors for this opportunity. It won't be easier to perform because the level is very high and from what we saw from the test back in April it was very tight in Imola. We just have to make the most out of the extra time on track we have compare to when we share the car and focus on our own program and it should be ok for us. On my side the objective is to bring back strong point, finished races and result will come. But of course a win is always there in our mind!"
O.Gaidai: " We all should help to each other in order to get valuable points for team and for each other...".
C.Ledogar: " Let's go for a good one !"
Imola is one of the Oleksandr Gaidai's favorite circuits. Unlike most of the other circuits, it is anti-clockwise. Maybe, it helps some drivers to find additional tenths of seconds.
