Gommendy shows some speed in Vegas

Tristan Gommendy (#22 Pay By Touch/Megaspiera Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) made amends for his poor showing at Spring Training in Laguna Seca by beating his teammate Neel Jani (#21 Red Bull/Gulfstream Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) in provisional qualifying for Sunday's Vegas GP. Jani was very fast at Laguna Seca but struggled a bit on Friday on the Vegas streets.

"My engineer Yves (Touron) and the entire team did a good job preparing car," said Gommendy. "I learned a lot today. The biggest thing for me is the circuit is really bumpy. Here in America it isn’t really bumpy, but in Europe it is never bumpy like this. So, again, a lot of things are new, but I think we have a good setup now and I think we can do a very job tomorrow."
