IMOLA - Team Q8 Hi Perform continued their run of success in the Porsche Carrera Cup Italia as David Fumanelli got their first win on the course at Imola.

The weekend of the Imola race started in the best possible way for the Q8 Hi Perform team. Fumanelli set the best time in the qualifiers, finishing the Individual Time Trial with 1’43”305, thus beating the 2019 record set by Tommasso Mosca and most importantly winning two extra points for having achieved pole position.

 Fumanelli raced without hesitation and led the entire race from the start and even posted the fastest lap time of the whole race. The achievement of first place, pole position and the fastest lap mean that he has achieved 23 points.

 On Sunday however, Fumanelli had to come back, having to go off the track with an ABS problem and only returning in tenth place, pulling his way back to fifth with the fastest lap of the race once more. Speaking after the race, Fumanelli said “I’m coming back from Imola with the joy of having at last given team Q8 Hi Perform our first pole position and victory, as a testament to the great work done up to this point.”

The Porsche Carrera Cup Italia now moves on from Imola to Vallelunga with races on Sep. 19 and 20 on the “Piero Taruffi” track.
