WTCR RACE OF ITALY
Rounds: 11 and 12 of 20
Date: July 22-24
Venue: Autodromo Vallelunga Piero Taruffi




Gilles Magnus (Comtoyou Team Audi Sport / Audi RS 3 LMS): “I really like the track, even though we’re using a different layout than we did in 2019 when I was there for the FIA Motorsport Games. I remember it was a nice track and the atmosphere was really cool for that event.


For me it was a positive weekend, we could have won the event although I did win the second race so it was good memories and it’s always nice to head back to a track where you’ve had good experiences.


I’m sure the shorter track will still be very cool and also it’s cool to be in Italy, it’s a country I like a lot and it will be nice to be close to Rome. If you have good memories of a track it’s nice to head back rather than heading back to a track where you’ve had an awful weekend.


This puts me in a better mood. It will be a tough weekend with the 40 kilos and it’s not a track that’s so quick so it might be tough for the characteristics of our car.


I expect a hard weekend but, like always, a top 10 in qualifying can change everything.”
