Tutumlu to skip Slovakia Ring

Isaac Tutumlu will miss this weekend’s event at the Slovakia Ring, because his BMW 320 TC car suffered from extensive damage at Marrakech ten days ago.

During Morocco’s first race the Spanish driver clashed with Aleksei Dudukalo and then hit the wall. The incident sidelined him for the second race and, due to the long trip back home, Proteam Racing had no time to repair the car before the trucks left for the Slovak Republic.

“It’s a shame; the Slovakia Ring is new for everyone and I should have used a new engine from BMW. I have no doubts we would have improved there, maybe it was a chance for repeating my results in Spain,” said Tutumlu and then added: “Now our target is to be back for Hungary, one week later. But this schedule does not help, as the team will go straight from Slovakia to Hungary, without going back to Italy. Anyway I hope my car will be repaired for Hungaroring, as I know the track from my Porsche Supercup days.”
