Pepe Oriola praises ‘perfect feeling’ with the car

By

Pepe Oriola led the way in today’s opening Free Practice session in Bahrain. The Spaniard, who is back in his Craft-Bamboo Lukoil SEAT León, says the feeling with the car is perfect: “I am happy, it was a good session and I had a perfect feeling with the car,” said the Spaniard. “I like a lot the new gearbox, which I did not have much time to test at Valencia [during pre-season testing].”

Despite the lead in the session, Oriola is aware there is more to come from him and the car: “We still have work to do but it is a good start,” concluded the 2015 runner-up.

The TCR International Series returns to the track at 16.50 local time for Free Practice 2.
