Michal Matějovský has completed Friday's free practice sessions at Imola, Italy

On Friday, 18 September, in dry but cloudy weather, two free practice sessions were held at the Imola Circuit, Italy. In the first one, the Czech racing driver Michal Matějovský came seventh, in the second one, after experiencing troubles with the fuel feed pump in his car, Michal Matějovský took the tenth place. 'This is the first time that I am to contest a race at this circuit, even though I tried several laps here at the team's testing event in the spring. So far, I am rather satisfied with the results of the free practice. However, we have not found an optimum set-up for the car yet,' said the SUNRED-BRT team's racing driver Michal Matějovský after the second free practice session on Friday.

This year's last racing event of the Seat Leon Eurocup series is contested by 21 drivers this weekend. The timed practice begins at 10:15 a.m. tomorrow.
