Bridgestone Cup European Final: News from Lonato

Apparently seduced by the comfort of B’Stone, De Conto relaxes on the dummy grid sitting on Zanchetta’s tyres !

After the storm that shook the very structures of the paddock on Thursday, good weather returned to Lonato for the last free practice for the Bridgestone Cup Final. With over 150 competitors in KF and KZ, most of the interest was on the track, which saw activity from the organizer, especially as there were new products at the meeting. For the first time, U18 and Academy, as categories, will compete outside of the CIK-FIA World Championship as part of an international event. Parolin and FIM are officially involved, as in the World Championship, but it is also the first time that these machines will run in competition with Japanese Bridgestone tyres, it goes without saying. The experience will probably be a test …

In addition, the Bridgestone Cup has not forgotten to keep its main ingredients, namely a more seriously organized competition on a legendary track, mixed with a homely atmosphere, lots of fun and relaxation, a recipe sometimes overlooked these days. The weekend promises to be particularly attractive in terms of very favorable weather. Rather than name drivers before qualifying, the great lesson of free practice is the closeness of the drivers in terms of performance. It’s tight, sometimes with more than 15 drivers within 2 / 10. In the opinion of some drivers, the grip improves over the laps and the times continue get faster. But expect qualifying on Saturday morning to provide the official confirmation.
