“What the drivers said…”

ELMS - 29/03/2017 - Jeff CARTER

We have met up with some drivers to gather their reactions after the Official Test in Monza.

Memo Rojas no22 G Drive Racing Oreca 07-Gibson

"Today has been a good day for us. We've been consistently in the top three on both days.  Obviously this a new team for me and a new car, and Oreca 07. 

"I am very happy with the new car and the past two days have been to learn about the car. We've been investigating different set up configurations so we have information for the rest of the year.  I think it has been successful. So I am happy with the job the team has done here at Monza and we will see in Silverstone."

Olivier Pla - No28 IDEC Sport Ligier JSP217-Gibson

"This is the big evolution of the JS P2.  It is a brand new car and we've been testing during the winter, which went really well.  Everytime we went on the track we made a step forward.  The pace is now really good and overall it was a good two days of testing with IDEC here at Monza and I think it is looking good for the season."

Dennis Anderson - no49 High Class Racing Dallara P217-Gibson

"Testing has gone pretty well, on the driving side we still have some things to sort out, but we are good.  This new car is really something. My biggest challenge is to get used to the speed, the cornering speed and the acceleration.  There is also the issue of traffic, whether the other driver has seen you and if there is an opening. I am looking forward to racing back here in Monza in May.

Nico Lapierre - no21 Dragonspeed Oreca 07-Gibson

"It's gone really well, very nice.  I arrived yesterday evening.  The team is doing well, it has expanded to two cars and so far it is going really well.  Both cars have really good pace yesterday and today as well and now we can't wait for the first race."

Christian England - no3 United Autosports Ligier JS P3-Nissan

"It's gone really well, we've had good weather on a fantastic circuit here in Monza.  It's the first time I've been here, obviously we raced at Imola last year, and it's gone really well.  We tried a lot of things, we've run through the plan and we're confident. I can't wait to come back to Monza in May"

Richard Bradley - no40 Graff Oreca 07-Gibson

"It's gone surprisingly well.  To end up fastest personally in two of the sessions and consistently at the front was good.  We grabbed a lot of good data as a result. It's looking very good for the season and I'm loving it."

Andrea Bertolini - no51 Spirit of Race Ferrari F488 GTE

"The last two days have been good.  We are in a good place and the weather was perfect to do a good test. For Giorgio (Roda) and Gianluca (Roda) it was the first time in the 488. It was good because learned a lot and they worked on the set up.  It was the first time with Dunlop for the F488 and we are quite happy with the tyres, we found a good balance.  We did a full programme here at Monza and we will see where we are at Silverstone."
