The sixth round of the World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) gets off to an auspicious start for Tom Coronel (Honda). The Boutsen Ginion Racing driver set the best time in the first free practice session at the Slovakia Ring (Slovakia) on Friday midday.
“We need this kind of performance that gives hope, explained the Dutchman as soon as he got out of his Civic Type-R, only 19th overall. The track conditions are weird, the circuit is very slippery and I had understeer in the slow section. I also had a puncture, the left front tire exploded at the top of a crest, without knowing why. »
