Petr Fulín among the fastest on Friday

09.03.2012

In the beautiful sunny weather and temperatures around 15 ° C were ran two tests before the opening round of ETCC in which Petr Fulin introduced himself as a sole Czech driver in the series. And his performance is definitely not lost!

In the morning test he did 20 laps with a best time of 2:02.404 and was the fastest. His nearest rival, Spaniard Fernando Monjeho with Seat Leon TDI ended 2nd with the gap almost a half a second. Petr’s ideal lap time combined the best sector times have been 2:02.258.

Also in the afternoon test was about the fight for tenths of a second between Petr Fulin and Fernando Monju. Czech team continued to work with the car's setup and Petr went out on new tires for the first time this weekend. Unfortunately, he was slowed down by other copetitors at this time and his time is not wholly an expression of his performance. Certainly it is interesting that as an Petr Fulin’s adviser is his former opponent in Octavia Cup Jiří Jupa.

Petr FULÍN

„The morning test I can summarized in one word – great! In the afternoon we tried for the first time during the weekend new tires, but unfortunately it went quite bad, tires did not work right from the beginning. I drove quick time on the third lap, next lap was even better, but I was slowed down by slower opponent. Then we went back to work on car setup, we made a rear suspension bit softer and again I managed to go very fast time. But tomorrow in a free practice we still have to resolve how to operate the tires to get the maximum right from the first lap."

Josef KŘENEK

"Today we worked with the setup options, which helped us to know a little better car again. Although we clocked the second fastest time, we are satisfied with the performance. I commend Petr, every time he hit the track he showed an excellent driving performance, driving fast without created a crisis situation, always on the edge, but never over. Important thing will be to give constant performance in both races "
