English version Frezza aims to be leader in Magny-Cours The International GT Open comes back on track this weekend for the usual French mid-July event in Magny-Cours. Marco Frezza is heading to this fifth race of the year, which will also be the mid-season mark, well prepared. After obtaining finally his first carreer win just two weeks ago in Spa-Francorchamps, in fact, the driver from Milan is just two points behind the leader of the GTS category. And in his pre-weekend declarations there is no space to hide: "The goal is to get the head of the classification," he explains. As usual, though, his analysis is precise. "We don't have to forget this is the home race for our first opponent Jean-Philippe Dayrault, who is heading the championship: the Luxury team is based near Magny-Cours and here he did all the testing." However, the French track is a friendly one for Marco Frezza. "I like the track, it's very technical and here I also had the opportunity to obtain some satisfactory results, as two years ago, when I stepped on the podium," he remembers. This weekend Frezza will be again starting with Kessel Racing team's Ferrari 430 GT3 together with his team-mate Pedro Couceiro. And his main objective will be one: "We have to find the right setup, because on the Magny-Cours track to have a perfect car is the most important thing." That's why Marco is ready to work at 100 percent already from the first Friday free practice. Here is the weekend timetable: Friday 9th July 2010 09:30-10:30 Free Practice 1 15:05-16:05 Free Practice 2 Saturday 10th July 2010 08:50-09:05 Qualifying 1 GTS 09:05-09:10 Qualifying 1 SGT + GTS 11:30-11:45 Qualifying 2 GTS 11:45-11:50 Qualifying 2 SGT + GTS 16:25-17:35 Race 1 (70’ - Rolling Start) Sunday 11th July 2010 13:00-13:50 Race 2 (50’ - Rolling Start)
