Antonela Bassani’s next commitment in the Porsche Carrera Cup Brazil takes place on March 28 and 29, at Velocitta.
What she said:
“It was a cool and even good day. Starting further back after the penalty, we did what we could in the race, catching up and passing. In the end, the tire we used got too worn, making it a bit more difficult. But eight positions gained and a lot of learning in today’s race, both in overtaking and defending position.”
