AutoGP Valencia FP1 and FP2

Zele-Racing drivers Matteo Beretta and Peter Milavec both had productive free practice sessions earlier today. Beretta, who struggled with the balance of his car yesterday, made a big step in the right direction and ended up 1.19 sec adrift the fastest driver in FP2, Facu Regalia. Milavec, who lost significant tracktime due to a technical glitch on his car in yesterdays testing also made progress, but is still learning both track and car.

Matteo Beretta: „Today i am really happy with the car and also my performance. I could have gone even faster in FP2, so i know there is more to come in Qualifying. We just have to finetune the balance a little bit for Qualifying, but all in all i am very positive about how today went so far.“

 Peter Milavec:“ I knew this is going to be tough, but i like the challenge and i also want to improve my driving, thats why i am here for. The guys out there are really fast, and i am still learning the circuit. Also, i need to adapt my driving style to the AutoGP chassis. If anything this weeend experiance will help me to become a better driver. The car is nice to drive, obviousely not as fast on the straight as my Champcar, but around the corners it´s so much faster. I hope i can close the gap to Michele LaRosa. In any case i will do my best.“

Michael Zele:“ I am really happy with Matteo´s performance in FP2. I am confident he can further improve over the weekend, so after all i believe he can do really well in the two races this weekend. Peter obviousely is still in the hunt to get to grips with track and chassis, which is not an easy task. However we will do our best to help him to improve.“
