Difficult qualifying for Chevrolet Cruzes at Slovakiaring

Difficult qualifying for Chevrolet Cruzes at Slovakiaring

28.04.2012: Chevrolets qualify 6th, 7th and 9th for Race 1, Menu on front row for Race 2 Qualifying for the first ever WTCC races in Slovakia proved a tough challenge for


Chevrolets qualify 6th, 7th and 9th for Race 1, Menu on front row for Race 2




Qualifying for the first ever WTCC races in Slovakia proved a tough challenge for the Chevrolet Cruzes with Yvan Muller, Rob Huff and Alain Menu placing 6th, 7th and 9th on the starting grid respectively.


Warm weather and an exciting qualifying session provided the perfect setting for the multitude of fans who turned up at the Slovakiaring, near Bratislava.


The numerous corners of varying radius at this technical, long and fast track posed a number of challenges in terms of set-up and tire stress. The RML run Cruzes did not have an easy Q2 and the Chevrolet drivers will have to battle it up from the second half of the top 10 cars. Hungarian BMW driver Norbert Michelisz will start Race 1 on pole.


Reverse grid positions for the second race means Alain Menu will start Race 2 from the front row, with Huff on the second row and Muller on the third.


The races tomorrow will be Races 7 and 8 in the WTCC calendar. Chevrolet currently leads the Manufacturers’ standings by 105 points. The three Chevrolet drivers occupy the top spots in the Drivers’ standings.




• QUOTES


Yvan Muller (6th):
“It was not an easy qualifying session. We struggled to find a strong pace.The track is very technical and fun to drive, but others seemed to be able to extract more speed out of their cars. We are going to work on the set-up tonight and I hope we will be able to climb positions tomorrow.”


Rob Huff (7th):
“This was not the best qualifying we could hope for, but I am relatively happywith the lap time we achieved and was able to benefit from the tow by one of the SEATs. I think I could have done a couple of tenths better but not more than that as we didn’t have sufficient speed. Tomorrow is certainly going to be an exciting day.”


Alain Menu (9th):
“On such a long circuit, you only have one attempt in Q2, and it turned out that we were not as quick as in Q1. In my case, my car was under steering in the second half of the lap. I don’t know exactly why but we’ll try to find out tonight. The good news is that Iwill be on front row for Race 2 and I intend to make a good use of it.”


Eric Nève:
“Today’s results prove that the WTCC is extremely competitive and nothing can be taken for granted. We have to understand why we were less competitive in Q2 than in Q1 and the free practice sessions. Tomorrow we will try to win as many points as possible to maintain our lead in the championships.”
