A1 Brazil Team with Tuka Rocha in Qualifying - Brno
A1GP World Cup of Motorsport, Round 2 - Brno, Czech Republic
A1 Team Brasil will begin tomorrow’s sprint race from the eighth row of the grid after Tuka Rocha competed in this afternoon’s A1GP World Cup of Nations qualifying session at the Brno circuit in the Czech Republic. His position could have been higher, but he unfortunately hit traffic on his last hot lap with new tyres, and so was unable to improve on his grid slot.
The team’s day began when Tuka drove in the final one-hour official practice session this morning. The Brazilian squad had made some improvements to the car overnight, and made the most of the time available, with Tuka completing 23 laps of practice, the highest of any team. The team was pleased with improved times, despite running on old tyres, and Tuka finished the practice less a second adrift of the fastest man.
In the four-part qualifying session, Tuka was sitting tenth after the first segment, after setting a time of 1:46.968. He improved on this with his second set of new tyres in segment three, and was on for a blistering lap in the fourth segment, looking set for a top ten position, when he was blocked by the Team France car, which was on its inlap. Tuka’s two fastest laps from Q1 and Q4 gave him a combined time of 3:33.732, placing him 15th in the standings.
Tuka Rocha: "We could have been in a better position that 15th but we lost between seven tenths and a whole second behind the French car on the last lap. I had let him past and then he blocked me for most of the final lap. I really like the track, the car is feeling quite good at the moment, and I know that our lap times are consistently good when we have old tyres on, so I’m quite confident for the race. Tomorrow I hope we can have a good day, we will see what happens."
