FR GT: Iradj Alexander Nogaro notes

Iradj Alexander's first race: classified 10th

Swiss driver Iradj Alexander, from Bellinzona, has disputed last weekend his first couple of races in GT France championship, on Nogaro's circuit.

Driving a Lister Storm of Red Racing GT team, Iradj Alexander and co-driver Gaël Lesoudier where confronted with a lot of tires problems. On Sunday, during first race, a tire exploded and the car had to withdraw from competition.

On Monday Alexander & Lesoudier classified 10th in the second GT race. A tire exploded during last lap too.

"Season start is enough difficult and technical's regulation doesn't help annotated controversy Iradj Alexander . Having in race about ten Viper, the French federation wouldn't tolerate a Lister Storm in the first places. So they twisted our car's trim, adding a 50 kg deadweight. Besides we have to use the same tires as Viper GT1: unfortunately this parts aren't adapted for a Lister Storm. Finally, obliged changes in aerodynamics affected car's results. Politics is everywhere".

Next scheduled race: April 15-17 in Ledenon.
