QUOTES

Alain Menu: "I am satisfied with my qualifying, as wemanaged to improve the balance of the car significantly with respect to the morning's free sessions. I had quite a lot of over-steering in fast corners and of under-steering in slow sections, so we had a lot of work to do. This is a track where everything can change from one day to the other, as we saw last year, so let's hope we can do a good job tomorrow".

Nicola Larini: "We worked in the right direction this afternoon and the change of set-up in the rear has brought good results, especially in the first section of the track. Still, I am not entirely happy with the overall balance of my car, which clearly is suffering from the 35 kg of ballast I am carrying".

Rob Huff: "It was not a good day for me, but last year I qualified 24th and I managed to win Race 2, so being 19th this year, l certainly won't give up tomorrow! I had a lot of under-steer when approaching the apex of most corners and I had to struggle with that also in qualifying".

Mark Busfield: "We did a reasonable job in qualifying to improve the set-up of the three Lacettis but it proved difficult to make good times today. This said, I think we are well-placed for Race 2 tomorrow".

Eric Nève: "What is unusual in this qualifying session is the difference among our three Lacettis. The 2 tenths between Alain and Nicola match perfectly with the 15 kg difference in ballast between their cars but we need to find an explanation to the gap with Rob's car. For tomorrow, we will do our outmost to offer a good show to the thousands of Chevrolet fans who will attend the race".
