After a rain-soaked Friday, the first qualifier on Saturday also took place in wet conditions. Therefore, for both the drivers (Ivan Goi had never driven on Eurospeedway Lausitz; Matteo Baiocco, not since 2006) it was a real challenge to plan a reasonable strategy and select an appropriate line on the track for the known difficult road holding conditions.
It was not until the second qualifier on Saturday that conditions were starting to dry. Although the first session was completed by both the drivers on slick tyres, they should be able to achieve a good result on the Sunday of the race from starting positions 11 (Baiocco) and 12 (Goi).
In both races on Sunday, the drivers were able to match the times of the leading group’s Markus Reiterberger (BMW) without any problems and improved with every lap in what were now finally sunny and dry conditions. Unfortunately, the starting position prevented the drivers from being able to join the leading group in the first rounds.
The 6th (Goi) and 8th (Baiocco) positions in the first races as well as 6 (Baiocco) and 7 (Goi) in the second races, are therefore a really excellent result.
In this regard, Ivan Goi and Matteo Baiocco wish to thank the 3C-Racing Team once again for their marvellous support and cooperation on the weekend.
