BETA TOOLS SPEEDUP

P14 AND P15 FOR THE  BETA TOOLS SPEEDUP IN FREE PRACTICE OF THE JAPAN GRAND PRIX

At the Motegi Mobility Circuit, Team SpeedUp returned to wear the colors of Beta Tools, which will remain alongside the team as main sponsor for the remaining overseas events.

López and Aldeguer concluded the first Japanese day positioned in P14 and P15 of the provisional combined standings.

It was an uphill start for the number 21 who unfortunately was unable to find the right feeling straight away, slipping into the top twenty positions. In the second run after the pit stop, upon returning to the track Alonso managed to improve his time, finishing FP1 in P15 (1’51.619). In the afternoon session, team 21 continued work on setting up the Boscoscuro, managing to shorten the gap from the leaders (P12) but not enough to reach the hoped-for positions. Alonso closed the first day of the Japanese Grand Prix with the fourteenth fastest time in the provisional combined practice times.

Good start for Aldeguer who achieved the eighth fastest time at the end of FP1 in 1’51.295, +0.818 from the leader. During the second free practice, the number 54 of Beta Tools SpeedUp was unable to find the right rhythm, thus losing his good position in the morning and ending the sessions in P15, positioning himself behind his box mate.

LÓPEZ #21: 14th  in 1’51.237

“I honestly expected a little more from this day. We are working hard to find the right feeling on the bike with the certainty of being able to do it. We will continue to improve to arrive competitive on race day.”

ALDEGUER #54: 15th in 1’51.295

“Speed. This is what we tried to achieve on the track today. With the used tire I don’t lack pace and speed, unfortunately I can’t make the most of the new one. We continue to develop new solutions and to study the data collected to always do better.”
