Fernando Monje could not take advantage of the condition of poleman it reached yesterday after suffering mechanical problems in the Seat Leon TDI in the opening round he led a double victory, and could only finish 12 th the first race Slovak and has been forced to leave in the second.

This round of the ETCC (European cars), Slovakia played at the Ring, started well for the Spanish team Sunred Engineering with a stranglehold on the free practice and timed, but luck has turned in the first race. After a start in which he was overtaken by fellow squad, Michal Matejovsky, Spanish has endured the second position but mechanical problems with his mount have delayed until the 12 th place and no further. In the second race, starting from this position, the problems have continued and, on the second lap, Monk has been forced to leave. Michal Matejovsky (Seat Leon) and Peter Fulin (BMW 320i), both local drivers have been imposed at the races, respectively.

The excellent performance in the first meeting and the four points he accumulated (3 of the timed and 1 of the first test) have prevented Fernando Monje lost an advantageous position overall in the European passenger car which is now second to only one point of the current interim leader (Peter Rikli czech / Honda), failing even to vie for four more runs citations Salzburgring (Austria, 19 and 20 May) and Imola (Italy, 23 and 24 June) .
