For the Spanish driver of Kurdish ancestry the International GT Open event at Monza will have a key role for his title aspirations as there are just four races left. Tutumlu and his team completed a test there last week.

Isaac Tutumlu participates in a new race meeting of the International GT Open next weekend, taking place at famous Monza track. Barzani Racing Team driver knows that he is approaching a key moment this season, due to there are just two other meetings ahead. So his results in Italy will define title chances in the GTS classification. Tutumlu is teaming up with Greece ́s Dimitris Deverikos once again, they both sharing Autorlando Sport Porsche 997 GT3 R and with new podiums in sights. The Italian team and their drivers visited Monza last week, and that test proved to be an excellent choice to approach even more confident this round.

“Definitively this is already the end of our season in the GT Open, as there are just other two meetings ahead, Monza and Barcelona. Anyway I think Monza is even more important, because we need to keep alive our title chances as much as possible for arriving to my home race, at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, well placed”, Tutumlu explains. He also points out that “our test there last Wednesday was important, because we worked on the car and my teammate Dimitris had a good first outing. For me Monza is a track where I ́ve raced on several occasions. I like it and our options are quite good. As always it will be almost mandatory to do a good work in qualifying sessions because, if you have a good position on the grid, you avoid risks at the beginning”. Finally Tutumlu, who is 6th overall at this moment, stressed “let ́s see how the weather works next weekend, maybe rain could be back, just like Spa. For me rain is always a good new, I ́m fast and our car is quite good under these circumstances. So…”.

There will be two qualifying sessions on Saturday morning, with race one the same day at 16.15 (CET). Race two is due to start at 12.12 (CET) on Sunday.
