Postiglione: “Marrakech was a nightmare!”

Vito Postiglione joined Proteam Motorsport ahead of the FIA World Touring Car Championship race at Marrakech. But in an interview with TouringCarTimes the 32 year old driver reveals that he will not race at Pau.
“I’ve had some accidents in Marrakech, and the car was damaged pretty badly,” said Postiglione to TouringCarTimes.com.

“The trucks came back from Morocco only on Thursday night, and there was no chance that the team could fix it before next event. I should be back in Valencia, anyway: by then the team will have had enough time to repair the car.”

Postiglione had a hard weekend at Marrakech and wants to forget his WTCC debut after several crashes.

“It was just a nightmare! First of all I have to say that I didn’t do any tests before Marrakech: all I had done was doing the shakedowns in Magione for Proteam before the cars were shipped to Brazil, in late January, which meant that I hadn’t seen the car for months. The lack of budget meant I couldn’t do any tests before my debut race”

The Italian hit the wall during the practice ahead of the races at Marrakech which meant a lot of work for the guys in the team.
