Zele-Racing drivers Giuseppe Cipriani and Sergio Campana finished day 2 of the official AutoGP wintertest at Barcelona on positions 12 and 5 overall. Whilst Sergios laptime put him inofficialy on P2 of the 2012 cars and 2012 tire compounds, which was a satisfying performance for the team, there were several problems which prevented Giuseppe from setting a better laptime today.
Michael Zele:“ I would really like to apologise to Giuseppe for all the problems we had to face during the two days of testing. It´s not my style to go fishing for excuses and i truly regret that we were not able to give him the best possible tool to move up the ranks. We now have to focus on 2013 and we already took the decision to introduce several changes whithin our organisation to avoid such problems in the future.“
The cars and equipment are returning now to the Austrian base to undergo a full rebuild. During the winter break both cars will receive the 2013 aero kit and technical updates for the new season. Meanwhile the development of the 2013 car will continue to further improve the already very promising performance.
