BORKOVIĆ FINISHED QUALIFYING IN SOCHI ROUND OF TCR INT. SERIES SESSION SIXTH Featured

Dušan Borković will start race 1 on Autodrom Sochi,Russia from the 6th position and race 2 from 5th after finishing 6th in qualifying session today. B3 racing drivers, who never raced on this track before, had problems with the setup for this circuit during free practices and qualifying today. Dusan also has 30 kg maximum success ballast this weekend.

In the free practice 1, all three of B3 racing drivers had problems with brakes which were changed as was the setup for qualifying but it was not the perfect solution after all.  

“It is not perfect but not bad either. I have 30kg success ballast and on this long track and hot weather it shows quite a bit, more than 1sec to be precise. I know the team will find the right setup for races tomorrow and that we will be able to at least test it on the shake down in the morning. It was very hot and humid today with 35c outside and track temperature above 40c. We might even have a rain tomorrow. The track is full of locusts which create a horrible smell around, and I hope it doesn't clog anybody's radiator. I am hoping for a good racing tomorrow anyway” – Borkovic said after qualifying.

Race 1 is at 11:35CET and race 2 at 13:05CET tomorrow. Both races will be broadcasted on RTS2 channel at 12:30CET.
