24 Hours Off-Road Fronteira 2019: X-Raid Mini JCW in the pole position

After today's practice sessions for the 2019's edition of the 24 Hours Off-Road Vila de Fronteira, X-Raid formation made by Michele Cinotto, Michele De Nora, Carlo Cinotto, Pietro Cinotto e Maurizio Dominella racing in a Mini JCW came on top of all the classification, after making a lighting fast lap at Fronteira's 17km long circuit, crossing the finish line with 9m35s.   The Italians managed to be 8.2 seconds then the second-placed AC Nissan Proto of last year's winners, driven by Alexandre Andrade, Cédric Duplé, Yann Morize e Alexandre Deaujon.  In third place finished the BMW Proto of Pedro Dias da Silva, Adam Bomba, Lukasz Zoll, Mikotaj Otto e Jacek Sobon, 14.6 behind the fastest.  Just a fraction of a second behind third-place finished the formation of Nani Roma, Ricardo Porme, Laurent Poleti, Ronald Basso and Franck Cuisiner, taking their MMP EVO to 4th place.

As for our  partner's "extra-super-fast" Peugeot 504, this old lady is not worried about the practice, as it finished somewhere near the end of the table. She's waiting for the race to unleash all her power! 

Tomorrow at 14:00 local time the 24-hour long race will start, taking the participants to race during dozens of laps and hundreds of kilometers until they reach the end 24 hours later.  For now, we know who will start, Sunday we will see who had the necessary speed and endurance to finish the race.
