Bart Hayden, Team manager:
” Qualifying today at the Nurburgring was very close between the top cars and we are very happy to have both of the Vaillante Rebellion racing cars lining up on the second row of the grid. It is difficult to overtake at the Nurburgring, so starting from a good grid position is important. The team worked really hard to repair car #31 after yesterday’s contact during Free Practice 1 and we were able to share the data between our two cars in order to make up for some of the lost practice time. The weather forecast for the race is mixed, so it should be an exciting race, we are looking forward to it. ”
