We arrived to VLN 6 after the summer break with new compound and construction tyres from FALKEN. Our aim was to improve on our 24 hour race pace. This was a success and we definitely took a step forward. I did the fastest lap that a FALKEN Tyre-equipped race car has ever done around the ring in qualifying, with an 8:08 time. However, the pace up front was also very strong and we qualified 12th on the grid. The race went very well for us. We gradually moved up from 12th to the point where I was able to overtake an Audi R8 on the last lap of the race to claim 4th. I want to thank the Japanese tyre technicians for their hard work.
We still have work to do with our tyres but gradually we are making progress and hopefully can improve them in the remaining two VLN races that we’re going to do this year.
