Clerot’s weekend began with a good performance in the only free practice session of the weekend, but a car breakdown at the start of qualifying left him only in 27th place on the grid for both races. In the Sprint, held on Saturday, the driver of car number 17 advanced seven positions to finish 21st. This Sunday, with good pace once again, the Brazilian closed the race in 16th, advancing 11 positions.
“We gained 11 positions today. The pace was good, so we maximized our result today. It was far from an ideal weekend, but now it’s time to go home for a few days and come back stronger after the holidays,” said Pedro Clerot, who is sponsored by Banco BRB.
