Jamaican Alex Powell put Friday’s qualifying disappointment firmly behind him, producing storming drives in each of his three Heats at the 7 Lakes International Circuit in Castelletto, Italy.
Starting each Heat from 13th, Alex showed a stunning turn of speed, reclaiming nine spots in each Heat while setting the fastest lap in each Heat. Only a lack of additional laps stopped his progress through the field.
“He really drove well today, lap after lap he set the fastest times in the race.” reported John Powell. “In the second Heat, out of the ten laps he set seven fastest lap times. His overall qualification was 25th, so he moved up 19 positions through the heats today.” There are two Finals in each class on Sunday; Alex starts Final 1 in 6th; his start position in Final 2 will depend on his finish in Final 1.
