| Successful qualifying! |
| Saturday, June 9, 2007 |
Hey folks!
After this day's efforts we´ve finally found the right setup on the car to get a fast qualifying time. We had a thorough discussion with our race engineer Fredrik after the morning session and made some changes to the car, which resulted in appr another 15 seconds on this 25km challenging track.
 We found a lot of time and the car felt really good on the track, it was just a blast to drive it now, like a dream. With 9.23 we´re among the all important top twenty.
We ended up as 18th (out of 220+ cars) which means we´ll get a flashing blue light to mount facing forward in the windscreen (the 20 fastest cars get these blue lights to signal to slower cars that we are front runners).
Race starts at 3 pm so I´ll post some impressions during the day. For the top twenty there´ll be an extra drivers meeting tomorrow at 10 am
 Impressions from the pits tonight, awesome atmosphere.
See yaa all tomorrow!Labels: Racing |
