DUŠAN BORKOVIĆ CONTINUES SECOND PART OF TCR INTERNATIONA SEASON WITH A GREAT PACE

Dušan Borković finished qualifying session in Buriram in the 7th position, and will start 7th in the race 1 and 4th in the race 2 tomorrow. Extremely hot temperature, over 70c in the car marked the first TCR weekend after the summer break.

The best Serbian race car driver is pleased with his result in qualifying considering he had problems with the car in private testing yesterday and that his drive shaft broke in the first part of qualifying 1 session. Despite this, he managed to get to the pit where B3 racing mechanics were able to fix it the best they could in the short amount of time so Borkovic could drive in Q2 in top 12 drivers.

„This is my worst qualifying from the beginning of the season, I was always among the fastest before but it is better than I expected considering drive shaft issue especially. In Q1 my drive shaft broke shortly after I did my fast lap. I thought that was it, but the team managed to fix it in time for me to start in Q2. However the car was not perfect. I did my best in those conditions, and I thank B3 racing for doing such a great job. I am pleased with how it went after all. The most important thing for me is to finish both races tomorrow and collect points and experience. I have a good starting position for race 2 and it will give me a chance to fight for the top. Chang circuit is not that demanding, but there is going to be 26 of us on the starting grid tomorrow because we have our Asian colleagues joining us” – Borkovic said after qualifying.
