Third pole position in row for Fabrizio Giovanardi and the Porsche Panamera S by N. Technology. After the ones in Mugello and Paul Ricard, fastest lap in the qualifying practice of today in Vallelunga (Italy) for the Superstars Series races of tomorrow.
Despite the 60kg of ballast on board, the maximum foreseen by Series' regulations following the three wins at Mugello and Paul Ricard, Fabrizio Giovanardi and N.Technology have been able to resist all competitors'attacks. Thirty cars on the track today from nine different manufacturers, witness of a more and more important Series.
"It has been definitely a very tough session, we pushed 101% to score our third pole position in row" said Giovanardi "We used the two practice sessions of the morning to find the best set-up according the circuit characteristics and the ballast on board. An important result on a real track, which confirmed once again the quality of the car and the technical choices. We started the weekend in the best way, but we are already working to prepare the races of tomorrow, considering that they can be the most difficult of the season, given the small gap between the first drivers".
As usual, Italian TV La7 will ensure the live broadcasting of tomorrow's two races, both of 25 minutes plus one lap. Start at 11.30 (Race 1) and 16.15 (Race 2).
