It is very promising, both with a view to the rest of the GPO series and Europe", Yan declared. At the wheel of their Energy chassis, Julien Goupy and Mathieu Gaillard also entered the top 10.
A comment by Michele Panigada (team manager)
"Over the last few weeks, we found very different circuits and weather conditions from one weekend to the other, but 2010 developments of our Kinetic chassis in KF and Eclipse chassis in KZ proved to be fully satisfactory. I would like to thank GKS in KF and Rizzi in KZ for their hard work, which allowed our drivers to race with very high-performance TM engines. Energy Corse has nothing to envy to larger teams, in terms of equipment, technical know-how and organisation".
