Their profession are the bikes, but the racing cars are a passion for the two global leaders, Valentino Rossi and Fonsi Nieto. Responding to an invitation made by SEAT Sport, both drivers have been moved to the test track of the mark in Martorell, near Barcelona to enjoy driving cars to 300 hp. To do this, both as Valentino Fonsi have had three different mechanics.
On the one hand the Cordoba WRC Evo3 who took part in the Rally Championship in Spain last year in the hands of Salvador Canellas and Marc Blázquez. On the other Super Lion with Repsol colors stars in the Supercopa SEAT Leon in the Spanish circuits. On arrival at Martorell none of them have lost the time and have alternated in driving cars. The asphalt used last year by Cañellas and ground, with appropriate specifications, this year the Championship of Spain dispute driven by Dani Solà.
“I enjoyed it a lot – has said Rossi – and while the emotions are very different depending on the car, I have seen the power of the engine and performed spectacularly. I knew the WRC since I drove the race of champions in the Canaries and I was pleasantly surprised by the León Supercopa. It was a fantastic experience and now I thank SEAT will enjoy the weekend with the Leon Cupra R that have at my disposal. “
Fonsi Nieto has had no hesitation in assessing their driving experience: Driving on earth is more spectacular, certainly more fun, the car is very noble in their behavior that allows it to roll very quickly with ease. In the asphalt driving is another, more accurate, and that shows in greater engine power. “
