Remarks – Portuguese Xray star Bruno Coelho is running the same car that he finished runner-up at the World Championships in Florida last year. A prototype of the current car it still features pre production parts which are now current such as the rear uprights. Upon arriving in Riccione he has been on the search for rear traction and having tried a number of changes they have also implemented the ARS system at the rear which he says works really well and now the car is very good.

Bruno Coelho (Xray) finished the first round of free practice with the fastest time of the battery: 16.884.

For this race he feels very confident (as it should be , he says, for every drivers!) and has admitted he likes a lot this track.

Of course it’s not the first time he comes in Italy but this is one of the tracks he likes the most in this country.

In the second round of free practice, remember that the only helicobacter to turn under 17 seconds were:

• Ronald Volker: 16.209
• Bruno Coelho: 16.86
• Marc Rheinard: 16.911

At the end of its third battery, continued to improve his time. So far, his best lap was in 16.612. Two tenths less than in the previous test.

Silvia Pietroforte: But what is his secret?

Bruno Coelho: to Make changes constantly to try to improve it. “I really like my T4. It is very good and very competitive, but it is very difficult to change it.”
