After a successful fifth place at Paul Ricard in the opening round of this years European Le Mans Series, 360 Racing’s Terrence Woodward, Ross Kaiser and Mark Richards were hoping to continue their progress at Imola last weekend.
“In testing we were around the middle of our class and free practice one went OK. Terrence and Mark were fastest in the bronze class drivers and it was looking good,” said Kaiser.
“Then we had a few issues in FP2 with the exhaust and a driveshaft, fixed those and I went out to bed brake pads and discs in, but the session was red flagged,” he added.
So it was into the 10 minute qualifying session for Kaiser with the Ligier JSP3, with a lot of work still to be done. “The tyres were sorted, but I still had to bed the brakes in. I got two good flying laps, but the pace then really moved on,” he explained after qualifying 13th.
The hopes were still positive for Sunday’s race though. “With Terrence and Mark’s pace being so good, we have a strong line-up, so it’s more about staying out of trouble in the race,” he said.
