Coloni Motorsport is ready for the Austrian date of the F.I.A.
F.3000 International
Coloni
Motorsport is ready for the third round of the F.I.A. F.3000 International
in the fascinating slopes of Steiermark on the A1-Ring track (Austria).
The preparation-tests for the Spielberg race ended with excellent
results and the Italian team is then confident for the Austrian
date of the F.3000, in which Coloni Motorsport will for sure improve
the good results of the first race in Imola.
A
special race then for Zsolt Baumgartner: the Hungarian will have
the advantage of running on his second home circuit,
a track however very familiar for him. In facts there will be a
great number of supporters that will come from the near Hungary
to see Zsolts race, who after the good results achieved in
Imola and Barcelona will aim straight to the podium.
Friday
the free practice, followed by the qualifying, while Saturday the
race will take place at 15.00 h. (The event will be broadcasted
by Eurosport on May 18th, Sunday, at 11.00 h. AM).
Paolo
Coloni, Team Principal: Were happy to come back here
in Austria, the track which the last year saw our drivers starting
in second and third position. This is a very selective circuit and
we think it could exalt the driving skills of Ricardo Sperafico
and Zsolt Baumgartner. We did two profitable testing sessions the
last week that confirmed the excellent quality of our cars and the
validity of the technical solutions developed during the winter
tests. Were then confident and we are in Austria with the
same target of ever, that also in 2003 is aiming constantly to the
podium with both of the cars.
Zsolt
Baumgartner, driver: I really like this track, in the 2002
I made a beautiful race. I hope first of all for excellent qualifying,
in order to start then in the front rows and to aim so to the first
position.
Ricardo
Sperafico, driver: We are sure that we will do a good job,
in the last year Coloni Motorsport obtained good results, I think
we can point at the victory and besides I like the circuit. The
car is really improved from the first race, we have the possibility
of being the front runners.
