04/10/2007 FIA GT: la Corvette di Hezemans / Deletraz vince a Nogaro, Biagi leader mondiale
Consistency appeared to be the watchword in Nogaro today, with the eventual winners, the nr 5 Carsport Holland Corvette C6-R, starting tenth on the grid but making steady progress up the field, taking the lead towards the end of the first hour, and keeping the advantage until the chequered flag. With their second win of the season, Hezemans and Deletraz have kept the battle alive until the final round, five points behind Biagi, and tied with the Scuderia Playteam Sarafree drivers Bertolini and Piccini and the Vitaphone pairing of Montanari and Ramos. “For the whole race the car was really consistent and fantastic to drive. Since this morning in the warm-up I felt we had a good car for the race,” Deletraz explained. “After Mike’s fantastic job at the beginning, I just had to hold on to the lead and we won. It’s nice as the title is still open for the last race of the Championship, with five cars able to fight, and we promise to do our best to try to win again, and to try to catch the number one! ” They were followed across the line by the two Vitaphone Racing Team Maserati MC 12 cars, securing the 2007 GT1 Teams Championship for the German team - its third consecutive victory. Biagi and Bartels finished second, with Montanari and Ramos third. “It was an interesting race and the start was unbelievable,” Bartels said. “I am very happy to win the Team Championship, and to win the eight points here, which was very important after the last two races, especially for Thomas to fight for the Championship. Now we are in a good position, but as we know from the last few races, you never know in this Championship what can happen. But with 30 kg in the car and these Michelin tyres I think we can be very optimistic.”...
