Esteban Guerrieri knew that he must keep on scoring good points, as he did last weekend at Czech Republic, to mantain his fight for the World Touring Car Cup.
One of the keys of each weekend is qualifying, in which the Argentine advanced to Q2 and entered the Top 10 places. That gave him two good spots in the grids: P5 in Race 1 and P6 in Race 2.
“It was quite a positive Sunday. We finished both races – that was not guaranteed considering the bruising races we saw – and we scored good points and managed to more or less maintain the gap to the points leader, despite having a slower car here”, Guerrieri remarked, as he lays 23 points behind Ehrlacher.
The driver, supported by Visit Argentina and works as embassador along the world’s best circuits, had a good first race and too many battles in the second one.
“Race Two was distorted a bit by one of the cars ahead having a problem. When the pack got bunched up, everyone was attacking and hitting me, and that set the tone for the final few laps. Despite that, the car stayed in one piece so I’m quite happy with the results. We’re getting into the final straight of the championship, and will be giving it a big fight until the end”, the #86 Honda driver stated.
The two remaining rounds will be held next month, starting with Adria on November 7th.
