Italian eyes Champ Car Atlantics

Young Italian Giacomo Ricci did an outstanding job testing over the two days in the No. 4 Western Union Gelles Atlantic car. The track conditions were warm but very windy and made for a lot of debris across the track and fine sand on the track. There were damp conditions with intermittent rain showers as well, so overall the test times for everyone were down.

Overall Giacomo and the others received a lot of quality track time with both new and used tires. Two drivers from Newman-Wachs and four drivers for Gelles tested:
Gelles Drivers
Maxi Gotz
Giacomo Ricci
Richard Philippe
Esteban Guerrieri
Drivers for Newman-Wachs were:
J.R. Hildebrand
Daniel Herrington

Ricci turned the 2nd best times and impressed their Technical Director.
