Despite the rain that fell during most of the session, Larry Ten Voorde can see some sunshine after the best time achieved today in free practice of the last and decisive round of the Porsche Carrera Cup Italia. the session that inaugurated the final super challenge between him, Keagan Masters and Marvin Klein was undoubtedly interlocutory and very unrevealing, because clearly the wet conditions affected the work of the teams and riders.
Perhaps, however, that best time, in addition to making him smile as he heads to the weigh-in, will also help the reigning champion to find some serenity within the Italian single-brand championship after the unexpected weekend experienced two weeks ago in Vallelunga , where in the race he wasted two golden pole positions, failing to make a push into the championship and get ahead of his direct competition.
From tomorrow, the highlight of this very tense finale announces great battles first in qualifying and then in race 1, for what could also become an almost decisive Saturday or a day that will lead to a go-for-everything Sunday without too many championship strategies.
We were talking about an interlocutory session, meanwhile, even if the Dutch ace is the usual, incurable optimist (and professional) when he looks at this Friday with its inevitably high and not very indicative results and as gloomy as the Brianza described at the time by Lucio Battisti from his perspective of driver chasing victories and above all in… perspective.
With particular satisfaction for the last minutes in which he, among many, chose to mount Michelin slicks, which will then be what will happen for the rest of the weekend, according to the current weather forecast which is sunny for Saturday and Sunday, Ten Voorde commented as follows in the post-liberal: “I liked the session, there were different conditions and I’m happy. We tried some solutions and the car seemed quite good. The choice to fit the slicks in the end was the right one. It was interesting to try them. I wasn’t able to complete the last lap because I had no more fuel because I drove a lot during the session.”.
And in fact he was one of those who wanted to lap the most despite conditions different from those he will find in qualifying and races: “I did it to understand the balance, even with the rain, evaluate the tires, the balance of the car. Different things in short”explained Ten Voorde, who concludes with a small lesson that is anything but interlocutory: “It was a useful session, every lap is useful”.
