Watche the two SPA races live on TV. The Mercs have a clear power advantage over the QP but Bertolini did some great driving to bring the QP home in first in both races (and score the Pole Position).

 

[Andyk]

Watched both yesterday BB....The Merc is quicker down the straights....Johnny had the same issue at Spa as he did a few races ago.....Car just cut out....At least it gave the win to Bertolini....The only thing I do not like about this race series is the rolling starts....Hate rolling starts....just not exciting....

 

[BigFoot]

Bertolini and its Quattroporte won both races at Vallelunga and became champions!

 

[Andyk]

Brilliant....the one before was not that successful for them so thats great news....Will keep an eye out for it on Motors TV...

God talk about a body kit, the wheel arches on that QP, the front and rear track looks to have been widened by around 1 meter.

My fav looking racing car of the moment....

The QP is the 'forgotten' sports car of the Maserati range. We all harp on about the GT-S but I bet a QP Sport could give it a run for its money around a track.

True Pat....the original sports saloon....bar none!

[Andyk]

It sure is...Only a small track I know but after being a passenger in Enzos QP around Llandow twice I can confirm it felt a home on track......Brilliant car...

 

[BigFoot]

Considering that the Swiss Team had 2 Maseratis going, whilst there was a shedload of BMWs (with special let offs from the organisers of the championship, eg. the M3 is not a 4-door saloon!) and Mercedes (and a fair few Audis and Jaguars), it is impressive to see the QP win.

A lot of the credit goes to Bertolini, who is a really good driver and squeezed all there was to squeeze from a much improved Quattroporte.

 

[Parisien]

Great to see...when the chips are down, its all about setting up car and a good driver.......then a decent car like the QP will produce the goods

Rapidly becoming one of the best GT drivers of his generation. Will we seem him on the podium at Le Mans one day?

Great driver Pat.......First race he went out in front and just was never going to be caught.
