Pole position on guest start in Italy!

Mees Houben has taken pole position for Race 2 on his guest start in Italy. He shares the car this weekend with Tomas Guedes, who qualified P2 for Race 1. A strong day for the team: Speedy Motorsport's second car joins Mees on the front row for Sunday's Race 2.

Race 1 will be a test of patience. The team has to serve a 17-second pit-stop handicap, so the race will be won and lost in the stints around that stop.

Race 2: victory from pole and a 1-2 for Speedy

Mees and Tomas Guedes finished the guest weekend in Italy in the best possible way: with a win. Mees started from pole position and held the lead until the driver change. Because of a 5-second pit-stop handicap, Tomas rejoined the track in P2, but he soon took the lead back and brought the car home in first place. With the second car finishing P2, the weekend ended with a 1-2 for Speedy Motorsport and GR Customer Racing. After the puncture in Race 1 cost a shot at the win, this was the perfect answer.

Puncture ends fight for the win

Race 1 of the guest start in Italy promised a lot, but ended in disappointment. Tomas Guedes drove a strong opening stint. He took the lead and held it until the pit stop. Because of the 17-second pit-stop handicap, Mees rejoined the track in P8. From there, Mees drove a great comeback race. He worked his way up to P2 and was in the fight for the win. Then, three laps from the end, he got a puncture on a front tyre and had to give up the battle for victory. Tomorrow is a new chance. Mees starts Race 2 from pole position at 12:20.
