Mario Spiniello words:
"The race went very well as qualifications. In the last round I could improve, but I made a mistake during a lap and I compromised the qualification.

The new NT1 has behaved very well indeed. I have not had any problems with the car.
Unfortunately, in the A-Main the tires were worn out earlier than expected and we had to change them.
