03/05/2014

After the free trial yesterday delayed by bad weather and you only took three laps , today took place the first day of competition for Fernando Monje in the International GT Open , an event this weekend starts his Nürburgring 2014 season ... This has been fruitless for him to not be able to run , given that a touch has knocked out the Porsche 997 GT3 RSR when his teammate, Juan Manuel 'Cochito' Lopez, started the first race.

Monk and 'Cochito' Nürburgring reached without knowing the track and a very cold and rainy weather were yesterday . Fernando began shooting in practice and gave just three laps to the red flag appear on track ; he had done a test on this circuit for Formula Renault and although he had never competed in , gave in to his companion seat pilot to quickly become familiar with a new layout.

The team decided that today ' Cochito ' performed the qualifying and the race began . It marked the 14th fastest time between -8 º Super GT category that militancy and stood a half rack . Bad luck , however , preyed upon him , as a rival, to avoid a car , he crossed and impacted with the Porsche attending Drivex , breaking the sleeve of the front wheel and was forced to leave at the first corner career . Fernando , eager to debut , it was literally no debut.

' We now have a second front very uncertain day' , explained the pilot Chic & Basic. ' Tomorrow I will do the second Qualifying hardly have references of the circuit and the race will go out first . Yesterday was 70 minutes and tomorrow is 60 . Rivalry in this tournament is great. On the one hand , there is the great specialists of European resistance ; on the other, especially very young riders arrived GP2 and Wold Series ... And all with the same goal : Will show their talent . That we are we, with the handicap that the track is still very new for both ' .
