Fernando Monje: 'The performance of the Lamborghini have been blatantly superior to those of other participants and we have done exactly what I expected, but still rooms with six drivers in the same second.

This fight was really hard until Gustavo looked advance by the British on lap 6. The Colombian left in the fifth place the rest of the relay to deliver the M6 â??â??at that position on lap 17.

After the change, and compliance with the 10 "handicap due to second place achieved in the previous race in Monza, Monk had problems at the start and had to make a reset in the system, which made him lose precious seconds . Already on track, very late, the chic & basic pilot could do nothing more than take the BMW to the finish line in 13th place, 7th cars taking points for the GT Open.

Fernando Monje: 'We do not know what happened, until I have done not reset the car has restarted, the mechanics have pushed but there has been nothing to do and we lost the title. Our goal now is to secure the runner-up and try the best result tomorrow. The weather conditions could bring more of a surprise, so until you cross the checkered flag will not throw in the towel '.
