Aigoin brothers rule in Portugal

Having watched his brother Yannick TQ the opening round of qualifying, Jerome Aigoin has gone and set the pace in Q2 to give us a repeat of Austria last year where they TQ’d the opening two qualifiers only in the opposite order. The Kyosho driver said he found a really good rhythm during the run and his MP9 was probably capable of going faster. Running AKA iBeam medium tyres he said the only set-up change he made was to a harder front spring and the car was perfect. Feeling the track had better grip but bigger bumps the French driver said he plans to stick with the same set-up for the third and final qualifier of the day.
