Panamera wins on first race outing

[poprock]

Apparently there is a racing series for big V8 saloons in Italy, the Italian Superstars Series.

A team called N.Technology have developed a Panamera race car for the series, and in it's debut race a couple of weeks ago they scored pole position and took the chequered flag.

Winning on it's very first race is a pretty good start for the Panamera!

Mauro Sipz, team principal, said:

We decided to take part to this event of Mugello in order to face the most demanding test, I mean a whole racing-weekend, bringing the Porsche Panamera S to the debut on a technical and selective track as Mugello. We are of course happy and very satisfied with the results: pole position and victory in Race 1, a good loot for the debut of our newest car! The car has been competitive and reliable from the very beginning, demonstrating the validity of the whole project as well of the road car and awarding the work of the team, once again exceptional.
Unfortunately in race two "" with the reverse start of the top eight finishers of Race 1 - a contact with another car undermines the proper functioning of the power steering, affecting negatively our performances and thereby the chance to reach a better result.
From tomorrow, N.Technology will start the second phase of the program which foresee the first evolution step of the car dedicated to the Paul Ricard event (18-19 September). This will represent the final version of the car addressed in the future to our sporting clients. In fact on that occasion it will be available a second car alongside the one of Fabrizio Giovanardi.
Moreover we will start with the production of cars for our clients. Our engineering department will grant them development and on-track assistance.
