Another broken shaft for GPR Pino RacingMatters are not running smoothly for GPR Pino Racing. In contrast with last year the team have had to carry out repairs twice in the pits.

It will be difficult to make up those arrears ", Greg Franchi tells us."All that is left for us to do is to try to finish the race as high up as possible. We'll continue giving our all and we'll see how it turns out tomorrow. We're definitely not going to hang around."
