Enzo Gianfratti recorded the 11º time in the qualifying practice this Saturday (7), at the Circuito dos Cristais, in Curvelo, Minas Gerais. Champion of the TCR Brasil of 2025 in the Trophy category, the pilot evaluated that he could have advanced some positions on the grid, were it not for a mechanical setback at the end of the session.

The work throughout the day reinforced the confidence in the setup chosen for the Cupra. Gianfratti highlighted the progress in relation to the collective practices and the more precise reading of the car’s behavior. “The quali was very cool, we took great advantage of the car, we had a nice understanding of the setup we made in the Cupra. In the last one, however, when I would lower 2 tenths, the car had a little problem, and I had to stop in the middle of the fast lap. I believe I would start in P8, but I ended up in P11” said Enzo.
Despite the momentary frustration, the balance of Saturday was positive for Gianfratti. “I am happy, despite everything, because we had a very large evolution from the collective tests to the quali. Now it is to look forward and focus on tomorrow’s races”, he finished.
