SODI : Second at the World Cup for Teams

On its first official appearance preceding its homologation this winter, the new Sodi ST 32 chassis showed immediately its full potential; indeed the performances achieved by Anthony Abbasse and Alban Varutti allowed Sodi to reach the second place in the World Cup for Teams. « The new chassis is very promising », Anthony confirmed. « I felt extremely comfortable driving it, it gives you a sense of confidence. Pure performances demonstrated we were very competitive, as proved by the excellent times I set during the final phase, very close to the leaders ».

The driver from the french team was sorry that he could not qualify in a better position, but his progression in the ranking was certainly remarkable. « I lost some time in the pack owing to my place on the grid, but a 9th place in a World Championship is an excellent result ».

As for Alban Varutti, he was twice in the top 10 during the qualifying heats and showed extreme confidence during the rest of the round. Unfortunately he suffered a collision at the start of the final and found himself at the end of the group. « It was an unfortunate accident, which forced me to start 31st in the final » Alban commented. « Pity, because the competitiveness of my Sodi-Parilla was evident and I missed an opportunity to finish in the top 5 ». However, Alban made an excellent race at the wheel of his new Sodi ST 32. He climbed 19 places and crossed the finishing line in 12th position.
