I tough I had resolved them, but I had a bad touch here in Pergusa and since that moment I begun to suffer again. This morning I was visited by a medical that was racing in another series, but it was really difficult for me to push hard during the race and to maintain the same rhythm of the others".

Augusto Farfus Junior (car #8) -- P1, WINNER "It is a special day for me today! It was a fantastic race: I made a good start and since then I could manage the race without any problem and increase my advantage on Pastorelli. I want to thank all my team who gave me a car capable to of winning and this victory is dedicated to them, to my family, sponsors and to everybody who have always believed in me".
