The excellent form of Monk at Suzuka has been shown throughout the weekend. After making some good free practice , which marked the 5th fastest time and second in Independent in qualifying Monk was just over a tenth of a move to the Q2 , which did succeed Robert Huff , last driver to enter the same in a session with traffic competed with 29 cars on track .

Starting from the eighth row in the first competition , Fernando was clearly going to try to start well , as rivals happening before in a fast-paced manga and agglomeration of cars. Booted fine and on the fourth lap was 15 degrees , improving one position on the next turn . On lap 19 the pressure continued and some head withdrawals allowed him to climb to 11th place , which would be the 10th to the final four , to leave Pepe Oriola .

In the second race , like the previous initiated RACC driver from the eighth row (16th position ) , the performance of Fernando was almost carbon copy of the previous one, making up positions in a race without too many incidents , so ended 14th absolute 7th among the Independents, but less than 1 seconds of the 10th place it had occupied in the previous competition.

Fernando Monje , visibly pleased after two races he has shone clearly , commented "our car worked really well and Suzuka I could make two very good races , finally forgetting the problems of previous races. I sincerely believe that we have struggled in the positions that we are , touching the points and always struggling with highly experienced pilots . You've reached the level records and even better than pilots Basseng category Huff and myself shows me that we need very little to be common in the points. "

The configuration of Suzuka in 2243 meters short version did not allow the slightest slip and pilots subjected to a frenzied pace . Possibly , Fernando Monje has achieved in these conditions his best result of the season because it is a driver used to these battles so intense and the constant melee , something already lived for some time in karting races .
