Stephane Richelmi (Lucidi Motors):
"I am happy about my performance since after the tests in July I did not think I could set the pole. We worked well both on the car and on the driving data and I managed to accomplish a perfect lap putting together all my best sectors. Obtained the pole, a Varano the victory is almost automatic, and this was the case. In the championship the fight is getting tighter and tigheter and it will be thrilling until the end".
Cesar Ramos (BVM-Target):
"I'm quite happy for the results at Varano! My team again gave me a fast and consistent car and I was able to deliver good results and also to get the leadership of the championship. Also the fastest lap in both races were importants for that...
In race one I did my best starting from P2, but it wasn't enough to beat Richelmi because Varano doesn't allow you to overtake..so I think we lost the race in qualifying actually...anyway p2 gave us good points.
There wasn't much to do in race two starting from P7 at Varano, but still we managed to get one position in the first lap and finish P6...of course I tried very hard to improve even more the position but looking where my title rivals were placed I just concentrated on getting also the point for fastest lap, and don't do any mistake which would cost me important points! We are now on the lead and that's where I want to stay untill the end, but for that I know I will have to work even harder from know together with my team".
Andrea Caldarelli (Prema Junior):
"It has been a fairly positive weekend, exception made for qualifying whereby we could have obtained something more if it were not for the traffic that slowed me down while I was using my second set of new tyres. This certainly influenced the outcome of my weekend: in race one positions did not change and in race two, on a circuit whereby overtaking is impossible, we could not expect much more than the fifth place. We are satisfied anyway about our performances; we have been very competitive and we will work to be as fast in Vallelunga too".
Daniel Mancinelli (Team Ghinzani):
"This has been a little bit of a troubled weekend for me starting from qualifying where we missed the right lap to start among the top three. We will analyze carefully all the data we have to be back on top in the next round: classification-wise, the four of us are quite close and the title fight will most likely end only at the last race".
Alberto Cerqui (Ombra Racing):
"This is a very fought championship and in a short circuit like Varano the values on the field tend to get even closer. Qualifying was certainly crucial due to the very few overtaking points offered by the track: at the end of the session seven drivers were within just three tenths, from the eighth, pole-man for race two, up to my position. This is a time gap relatively short that determined the outcome of the weekend anyway: I knew that starting from the back it would have been difficult to get in the top ten and things went this way. I obtained some useful points for the rookies classification where I aspire to finish the season within the top three".
