English version Frezza gets another win Two weeks after his first carreer win in International GT Open in Spa-Francorchamps, Marco Frezza immediately gets another one in Magny-Cours, with the exactly same result as in the Belgian track: a first and a fourth place in the two races. The Italian driver of the Kessel Racing team, driving a Ferrari 430 GT3 together with the Portuguese Pedro Couceiro, gives a satisfying evaluation of the French weekend. "I'm very happy," he explaines. "By repeating the result from Spa, we again managed to avoid time handicaps for the next weekend in Brands Hatch. So everything is going for the best." The win in the first race of the weekend was never in discussion: Marco Frezza, who took the drive of the car at the start and in the first stint of the race, pressured his rival and championship leader Dayrault for the third overall position and first in GTS class right from the start, then managing to do the decisive overtaking in the fifth lap. "I did a great start, while Dayrault didn't do the same," Marco tells. "Then, since I took the leadership of the category, my rivals couldn't do anything. I kept the head of the GTS class throughout my stint and when I passed the wheel to Pedro, he could do the same." Way more difficult, instead, was Sunday's race-2. "This time Pedro started, but after just two laps he was hit from behind and so ended in the back of the field. We had to recover, but we did a great comeback and in the end we got the fourth place." So, after briefly taking the championship lead after Saturday's race, at the end of the weekend Frezza is exactly in the same situation as before: second in the championship, catching Dayrault, just two points behind. "Useless to say, our goal hasn't changed: we are still battling for the title!"
