Engine change means grid drop for Dudukalo

By

The lone turbo-diesel SEAT León of Aleksei Dudukalo has had a change of engine, and will drop 10 places for tomorrows race.

The Russian driver is the only competitor running to 2010 Appendix J regulations (non 1.6 turbo-petrol powerplant), and so is the only entrant in the Jay-Ten Trophy for the second consecutive meeting, which he now leads.

SUNRED have requested to change the engine for the No.4 SEAT León TDI, and so the 34-year-old will drop 10 places from his qualifying spot for race one.

The remaining five SUNRED Leóns are running with the new Lehmann-SUNRED developed 1.6 turbo for the third weekend, and are now the lightest cars on the track, running at a minumum weight of 1,133kg.
