Very unlucky race week-end on the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit for David Fumanelli and Oregon Team, leaving the Belgian round with a DNF.
On Saturday morning, after twenty minutes of though qualifying session, David secured the fifth position on the grid for the PRO race, only one-tenth off from the third place of the former F1 driver Robert Kubica.
But the Endurance race scheduled in the afternoon had a different outcome.
A crash at the start, caused by another driver, involved the car #4 with Mendez, Fumanelli’s car mate, behind the steering wheel.
The huge impact against the wall was inevitable for the Colombian driver, who fortunately didn’t report any physical damage.
The considerable damage on the car forced the team to work hard all night to try repairing it and they fortunately made it just in time for the PRO race on Sunday.
But at the start, an electronic gearbox problem forced David to retire with a DNF that complicates the fight for the title in anticipation of the last race in Portugal, scheduled for the 22nd and 23rd of October.
