COLOMBIAN GRAND PRIX, ROUND 2
Qualifying
Wow! What a session! The field is so close, blink and you'd miss them!! All 28 cars were covered by an incredible 1.136 seconds!!
Unfortunately the two drivers that didn't make the race were:
Harold Fisher (LeRon Mercedes) and Dennis Wright (Republica Alfa Romeo)
And so pole position for the Colombian Grand Prix is.......
GABRIELE TOCCACELLO!!!
An astonishing first pole position for the rookie of 2008. Now he wants his race seat to be a permanent one!!!
Congratulations should be made to team-mate Leuenberger who joins him on the front row!!
Notable drives from Ariesta who brilliantly made the top 10, Kamannen and Snel who did well on their debuts, Regazzi 14th on his return, and his team mate Kafatos who was 16th, both TXM drivers showing how much their car has improved since Kyalami. Also great runs from Moreno and Pafvelsson, both in new drives, and Natalie Medina Gonzalez who outclassed the TXM cars of LeCoute and Mertakis, both of whom were still only under a second off the pole!!
