Robert has done a lot of testing with the MTX5, but he's also in the form of his life right now...
The other two drivers are slower for a simple reason:
- Francesco Tironi is using the machine for the first time now, so do not know her well.
- V Rick has taken 2 years after a 1:10 at the European and also came on the second day of practice. Although everything did not go badly. They certainly have a step by 2-3 tenths slower than Pietsch.
-Robert has designed the car, has made many tests and still know it best that's why it's easier to trim the car. Considering that there are other pilots to the level of Pietsch, such as Dik, it can be concluded that at present the MTX5, is the same level of Xray and you can still improve. All pilots know the Xray car for a long time, so it is easier for them to do the time.
