Jorge Lorenzo and Francesco Braschi’s 2023 in the Porsche Carrera Cup Italia ends one day and one race early. After the off-track crashes in which they were protagonists yesterday in race 1, the damage sustained by their respective 911 GT3 Cups did not allow the teams to quickly recover to be able to field them in today’s race 2.
Lorenzo, protagonist for the second consecutive season as official driver of the Q8 Hi Perform Team, went out around mid-race on the Rivazza, hitting the guards and described the incident as follows: “I arrived at the braking point of the Rivazza and it wasn’t turning, when I I started using the brake and the car went into a spin and without being able to stop I hit the barriers.”
Yesterday the three-time MotoGP champion qualified 19th for race 1 and today in race 2 he should have started from 17th place, Braschi, instead, started 21st while today he would have positioned himself on the 24th spot on the grid.
In race 1, the young Dinamic Motorsport rookie ended up, also rather violently, against the Tosa barriers after coming into contact with Benny Strignano’s car in the initial stages, causing a red flag which then forced the group to make a new starting from scratch.
Below i times with which the protagonists of the Carrera Cup qualified for race 2, ready to start the grand finale of the season which will shortly decide the overall title between Ten Voorde, Quaresmini and mathematically also Agostini (Lorenzo and Braschi will naturally not be on the grid ).
