PURESPORT SECURE POLE AT SUPER TROFEO DEBUT
Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo newcomer, PURESPORT, has secured pole at the final race weekend of the season at Paul Ricard, France.
Mirko Venturi of the Italian-based team set a fastest time of 2:10.837 in the 30-minute qualifying session, despite it being only his first competitive outing in the Super Trofeo race car. Venturi’s team-mate Andrea Invernizzi will start on pole for tomorrow’s round 16.
Starting alongside will be current Pro-Am Drivers’ Standings leader, Claudio Rossetto, whose Petri Corse team-mate, Fabio Babini, set the second fastest time of 2:10.967. The #1 team Automobili Lamborghini VIP car will start from the second row, after Giorgio Sanna lapped the French track in 2:12.108.
“We are really happy to get pole for our first race,” said PURESPORT’s Team Manager Rosario Campagna. “As a company, we have never competed in a racing series before and only decided to enter the Super Trofeo for one race three months ago, so to be in this position is fantastic.”
