Time to Czech in at Brno
11th September 2008
The 5.4 km Brno circuit in the Czech republic will host round 7 of the FIA
GT Championship this weekend with racing returning to the more familiar format
of the two-hour endurance race on Sunday 14th September. The challenging and
undulating circuit is a firm favourite with Jamie Davies and Fabio Babini.
After such a strong showing at the Bucharest City Challenge the Scuderia Ecosse
team will be hoping to maximize their chances and points as the season moves
into the final stages.
As Jamie prepared to head for Brno he commented, “Brno is a very nice
circuit to drive, it has a good selection of corners and lots of height changes
over the lap. It’s going to be interesting this year as the circuit has
been totally re-surfaced since I last drove there. Pirelli did a great job
with the tyres at Bucharest and I am confident we will have a very competitive
car for the Brno race.
With cooler race temperatures ahead, Italian Fabio Babini commented, “I
am looking forward to racing at Brno once again, as it is a fantastic drivers
circuit. With the latest developments from Pirelli and our encouraging pace
at Bucharest last month, I am confident that Jamie and I will be able to push
hard for the podium during the two hour race”.
Scuderia Ecosse team principal Stewart Roden commented “Brno is a very
challenging track and the team really enjoys going there. With Pirelli’s
hard work on the production of new tyres all year – I am confident this
will be reflected in our performance this weekend”.
