Last weekend was the first race weekend for ATS-Racing this season.
It also was the first race for our new driver Asgeir Borgemoen.
The weekend started with free practice on friday, and Asgeir got some laps getting to know the car, and finding a good setup. Saturday it was time for qualifying, and Asgeir did a great job, finding almost one second on one lap, putting him in 3rd place for the first race!
During a race weekend there are three races. During the first race Asgeir managed to hold his third place, and finish on a strong podium finish, his first in a Ginetta and for ATS-Racing.
In race two, the track was damp in the start of the race, as the race went on the track got dry and Asgeir did his personal fastest lap of the weekend, almost two seconds faster than his qualifying time. He fought his way up to third place and came in right behind the two cars in the front.
Race three started with heavy rain, Asgeir had never driven on wet tires before, so this would be a new experience for him. After a really good start, he manage to keep third place all the way to the finish, making his third podium of the weekend! A great job by both driver and team!
Team manager Aleks had this to say “It is a great way to start the season! We have learned a lot, both the mechanics and the driver. I think we will be a strong team this year as well, and i am really impressed over the speed Asgeir have shown this weekend!”
We are now looking forward for the next race!
