Riccardo Longhi Team Manager Birel ART Racing:

“Giuseppe Palomba was our top driver in KZ2. After his pole position in Qualifying, he continued to dominate the heats. He was really on top. It was very unfortunate that a technical problem forced him to retire in the Prefinal. His 23-place climb to 10th place in the Final proved our potential in Lonato. In OK, Tymoteusz Kucharczyk and Cristian Bertuca performed well to reach 6th and 7th places in the heats. They continued with a good pace in the rainy Prefinal.

Tymoteusz crossed the finish line of the Final in 8th position with the fastest lap before losing four places because of his spoiler, while Cristian moved up to 11th. The weekend was more complicated for William Macintyre in OK-Junior as he started with 41st in Qualifying. His best performance came in the wet Prefinal where he made up 13 places to 6th. He confirmed this by fighting in the top 10 of the Final.”
