Bonaldi Motorsport ready for ADAC GT Masters at the Red Bull Ring

Three weeks after the Austrian F1 Grand Prix, the Red Bull Ring is hosting the fourth round of ADAC GT Masters this weekend. Compared to the legendary Osterreichring, this racetrack is considerably shorter: the rise to the Hella-Licht chicane was eliminated because considered too dangerous, the first curve was moved up of tens of metres, a new straight, which was parallel to the Flatschach one, was built and the track was then rejoined to the old track by a sharp turn in steep rise called Remus Kurve. Other major changes concern the Bosch curve, which is now much slower, and the Rindt curve, which was changed into a double sharp bend from a long turn in order to obtain huge escape routes.

For Bonaldi Motorsport this race is ready to restart from where the team left off, which is to say the eighth position gained by Kujala and Pavlovic in Race 2 at the Lausitzring circuit.

Marco Bielli, team manager: “I have nothing to complain about performances during the past races. We did what we could do, maybe with some mistakes. But we need to improve in the qualifying sessions where we couldn’t reach the suitable positions”.

The weekend timetable starts with Free Practice on Friday, July, 22nd at 12.35 p.m. and at 16.35 p.m.; Race 1 Qualifying Practice is at 9.40 a.m. and Race 1 is at 1.15 p.m. on Saturday, July 23rd. Race 2 Qualifying Practice is at 8.30 a.m. while Race 2 is at 12.15 p.m. on Sunday, 24th July.
