Driver Ricardo Maurcion set the track record on the first lap with a 1:41:422, 1.6-seconds faster than the previous record, and then dropped the lap record to 1:37:856.

“It was sensational! I had been told that the car was exciting to drive, and it proved real on track,” said Ricardo Mauricion. “It is very powerful, with a very strong torque and acceleration.”
