Fässler and Deletraz fastest in Adria warm-up
A blue sky greeted the 27 teams at the Adria International Raceway today as the cars rolled out of their pit boxes for the thirty minute long warm-up session.

While there is one team reacting as a clockwork (Audi), there’s another team that sees their worst case scenario materializing (Peugeot) and this is the defining moment of the 76th edition of the Le Mans 24 Hours, the moment where the tide turns as it so often happens at La Sarthe[...]
PK Carsport aiming for a podium at Adria
For the third round of the 2008 season, the FIA GT Championship remains in Italy, but moves southwards, to a track which is diametrically opposed to the Autodromo Nazionale Monza Short, tight and twisting, the Adria International Raceway, built in 2002, is on the FIA GT calendar for the third time.
