The FIA GT Championship is back in the former eastern block for the second time this year, and Christian Montanari is ready to join Maserati and Vitaphone at Brno on one of thefavourite tracks of nearly all drivers. The length of the circuit, together with the fast turns, theelevation changes and the woods as a suggestive surrounding, recalls other famous venueslike Spa-Francorchamps and Mugello, and Montanari, still up to title chase with team-mateMiguel Ramos, is ready to race for podium after the 4th place scored at Adria.
“I raced at Brno in 2003 with a Touring Car, and I remember I found out it was good and fun todrive, with fast turns where you have to floor the throttle… and that’s my favourite part… Afterthe fourth place scored at Adria - that didn’t left me completely satisfied - I’m traveling, togetherwith Ramos and the team, towards Czech Republic with a clear intent of scoring points. The track is particularly hard on tires, but I’m sure Michelin - as usual - will provide us the bestpossible rubber; we’ll have to watch out from Playteam’s Pirelli-supplied Maserati, and fromChevys and Astons, that will perform well on uphills. Our MC12 will be very fast in changingdirection, and we’ll also work very hard on pitstops, to avoidrepeating our past mistakes. Tohave a say in the fight for the championship, we’ll be forced to make anything perfect. “
