Call them gentleman drivers, but keep in mind the fact that, as Luca Pastorelli explains smiling at Misano, “This year we are not simply Am drivers, we are semi-pros in all respects!”. And the words of the returning Dinamic Motorsport driver from Modena are fully supported by the data.
The times set by the contenders for the Michelin Cup in the first seasonal qualifying of the Porsche Carrera Cup Italia this morning are of absolute value (among other things with the 911 GT3 Cup which does not use ABS in the championship) and the two starting grids that have emerged are already a nice mix.
It’s not just them, of course, and the mix is well assorted and close, but the reigning champion Alberto De Amicis and Pastorelli himself are the ones who dueled for the lead on the edge of a hundredths, earning a pole for one.
The Ebimotors driver for race 1 with a cat-like leap a few minutes from the end thanks to a time of 1’36″505, the “flying lawyer” for race 2 responding in 1’37″710 (his second best time), also him for a breath.
The ingredients for a top challenge that can also involve the immediate pursuers are all there and from tonight at 9.00 pm (race 1 live on Dazn and www.carreracupitalia.it) there will be brawls, among other things at night (not an ideal condition for everyone): “It will be a hard-fought championship – commented De Amicis –. There are many players in the game and it will be very important to score significant points in all the matches. Today I got a nice pole position, it went quite well. I struggled with the first train, when I didn’t find the right concentration, then with the second I managed to set two good times. It’s just a shame about a mistake at Sunset which didn’t allow me to get both poles.”.
