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

Esteban Guerrieri (ALL-INKL.COM Münnich Motorsport / Honda Civic Type R TCR): “I have good memories from this track after I raced there back in 2003 on the same layout we will race on next weekend. I actually won both races in Formula Renault Italy, which was the last time I raced there.


It’s a fun track with very challenging corners. T1 is flat out but a bit bumpy and there’s also the fast left-hander on the back straight [Trincea]. It has a bit of camber and it’s difficult to clip the apex, which makes it easy to lose time. You have some overtaking places in the infield and the last corner with the banking is pretty cool.


I really like the track but we will have to keep an eye on the weather because it will be very hot for sure and tyre degradation might be an issue, but let’s see how it goes.


I will try to be competitive, which we haven’t been in the last few events, not performing very well in Aragón and then in Vila Real where I had some issues in qualifying that put me on the backfoot for the rest of the weekend.


Hopefully we can score big points but a podium or even a win would be great, so let’s go for it.”
