For Dinamic Motorsport, the first round of the Porsche Carrera Cup Italia season on stage at the Misano Adriatico circuit yielded solid placings in both races. A good start, although the team looks ahead with higher ambitions for the continuation of the championship...
Misano Adriatico (ITA). It was an exciting and exciting start to the season that was staged over the weekend in Misano Adriatico for the Porsche Carrera Cup Italia. Aldo Festante and Dirk Schouten offered an overall positive performance, while remaining aware that the season's goals are far more ambitious. Young Lorenzo Cheli, just 16 years old, raced with great precision, without errors, showing significant progress over the weekend. A suboptimal qualifying session penalized both Festante and Schouten, complicating the race course for both. Festante was then involved in a contact in the early stages of Race 2, which relegated him to the back of the pack, but he was able to react with a good comeback. Schouten, thanks to an incredible first lap in which he recovered eleven positions, ended the weekend in the top ten.
Lorenzo Cheli: “Living within walking distance of the circuit, until last year I was among the spectators in the grandstands watching the Porsche Carrera Cup Italia races. To be on the grid and fighting on the track today is something extraordinary! I am overall satisfied with my performance: we showed significant progress throughout the weekend, both in terms of race pace and in terms of managing the various stages”.
Aldo Festante: “The weekend looked promising; we could aspire to a top-five finish. However, in qualifying we had some problems that affected our braking performance and we couldn't solve them in time for race 1. In race 2 I felt the car was very different so I knew we could do better, but I found myself in the middle of a contact on the very first lap and could not translate the good feelings to the track”.
Dirk Schouten: “I knew that qualifying would be crucial, as Misano is a circuit where overtaking is never easy. Unfortunately, the session did not go as planned due to some imprecision that compromised the lap time. However, in both races I was able to recover well, showing good race pace; in the second one in particular, an excellent first lap allowed me to gain eleven positions immediately!”.
