Beretta stays on top in Corvette
ELMS - 26/04/2008
Olivier Beretta, a man who knows the Corvette C6R so well having won the American Le Mans Series driving for the factory team, went to the top of the time sheets by setting pole position for the "LM" GT1 category.
Deputising for the team owner, Luc Alphand, Beretta set a time of 1m44.102s, just two tenths of a second faster than Tomas Enge managed in the Team Modena Aston Martin DBR9 and 1.3s quicker than Stephane Ortelli managed in the Saleen S7R in 2007. [...] click here to read the end of the article
"It is nice to be back in Europe," said Beretta who took advantage of the cancellation of the American Le Mans Series race in Houston to race at Monza.
Sebastien Dumez was third fastest in the second Luc Alphand Aventures Corvette C6R that he will share with Patrice Manopoulos and Jean-Luc Blanchemain. The latter driver had a small accident in the Corvette during the third practice session on Saturday morning which slowed the progress of the team. The car was later hit with a penalty of being dropped to the back of the grid for an overheating cockpit.
Peter Kox was fourth in the Lamborghini, bringing up the tail of the field following the withdrawal of the Larbre Competition Saleen S7R as the former champion team works on a race programme in France and Europe.
