Facu Regalia Dubai 24h qualifying review

Facu Regalia and the MSG Motosport Porsche 991 Cup set 6th-fastest time in 991 class for the 24 hours of Dubai

Regalia took part in several private and free practice sessions, which were very useful heading into qualifying. Regalia, sharing the car with Daniel Cammish, Martin Konrad, Luca Rettenbacher and Freddy Nordström, finished 3rd, a nearly perfect appetizer to qualifying session.

Regalia was appointed to qualify the #62 Porsche 991 Cup and clocked a best time of 2:04.954, 6th and barely more than a second behind the pole position time.

Following qualifying, Facu carried out valuable night practice.Race strategy and stints sequence will be set by the team early in the morning with the sole goal of taking the class honors.

Facu Regalia: “Our qualifying session wasn´t as we expected because temperature changed, so the car was different to handle and it took us by surprise. Our goal was to finish in the top-three and we couldn´t meet that target. I had to deal with oversteering and lack of traction when previously we hadn´t experienced something like that before. Anyway, even when our qualifying pace wasn´t as good as expected, we think our race is pretty good. Our grid position isn´t bad at all and we feel confident for tomorrow. Our goal is to be in win contention.”
