After starting ninth from the grid, the result of the first race suprised me. Unfortunately, in the second race my team mate was penalized by pass through the pit lane and also he went off. He handed the car over to me on the 10th place and I only achieved 9th position. However, the third race was very good. Although I started ninth from the grid, I got the leading position quite soon. My team mate finally finished second. Michael little bit suffered with lack of experience, however apart from two mistakes in the second race, he ran in the great way.“

Unfortunately, at the drivers´ change my team mate wasn´t able to fasten the belt for a long time and we lost about 10 or 12 seconds. We finished third then. All three races were good, although we ran brand new cars. My team mate was experience driver of FIA GT3 championship. So this weekend was quite hard for him, because he was switching among FIA GT 3 and Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo cars. The starting field involved some experienced competitors such as Peter Kox, Uwe Alzen or Fabio Babini. We haven´t got any serious technical problems. We just little bit struggled with brakes – however Adria belongs to the most demanding circuits concerning brakes.“

But finally everything went well and the results of both drivers had shown it. We are happy, that we are part of such racing cup, especially when it is supported by so world known mark, as Lamborghini is.“
