Portimao closes the European 1Aim Villorba for the redemption of Sernagiotto: “Excellent tests”

PORTIMAO (PORTUGAL)

Villorba Corse to finally get on the podium, Giorgio Sernagiotto to secure his fifth place overall and aim for fourth. These are the objectives with which 1Aim Villorba Corse and the driver from Caerano in force at Iron Lynx and his Ferrari begin the weekend in Portimao, with the 4 Hours closing this European endurance race. The season, for both, was not the most fortunate. Villorba still eats his hat for that vanished podium on the last lap in Barcelona, ​​for that carom that chased them out of Zeltweg after three laps and for that cracked Ligier circle at Le Castellet. In short, the relationship with the goddess Fortuna is to be hung up. But who knows if this re-engagement does not start from Portugal, perhaps laying the foundations for a 2022 that could see them again in the European Championship with the Lmp3: «Portimao is demanding and two of our drivers have never raced there. At Spa, last race, we showed excellent things: we are confident, we know that our package is competitive “, are the optimistic words of Raimondo Amadio, the team principal, in addition to those of Alessandro Bressan from Treviso, the driver who he will share the cockpit with Damiano Fioravanti and Andreas Laskaratos: «After the good performance at Spa we want to finish this Elms in the best possible way. Portimao is another big challenge for me, being demanding: it is a track where experience counts a lot. I will use every second of practice to bring home the result “, he promises. On the other side of the paddock, Serna is also preparing his race, the last of the season with the Ferrari 488 evo Gte of Iron Lynx:” In yesterday’s tests it was everything went well, we are waiting for the free practice sessions and the weekend: we will run with the sun and with spring temperatures “, says the Caeranese who after the end of the 4 hours will take the plane to Bahrain, where in two weeks he will run the last two races of this World Championship on the Ferrari of Cetilar racing, but now he has his head in Portimao, with qualifying tomorrow at 3.10pm and Sunday at 2.00pm (live YouTube).
