CATALUNYA - Ajang yang menjadi feeder F1 yaitu GP2 Series memulai aktivitasnya dengan menjalani tes pramusim. Sesi yang berlangsung tiga hari (9-11/3) menjadi uji coba dan pengenalan pembalap reguler GP2 Series musim ini.
Sirkuit Catalunya menjadi sarana latihan karena trek ini juga yang bakal menjadi seri perdana GP2 Series, Mei Mendatang. Pada kesempatan tes ini pembalap Indonesia Sean Gelael (Jagonya Ayam Campos Racing) dan Philo Paz Patrick Armand (Trident Motorsport) melakoni uji coba sehari penuh, sesi pagi dan siang.
Keduanya memang sudah mencicipi besutan GP2 Seris yang bermesin 4.000 cc yang menelurkan 610 dk yang prioritasnya memahami karakter ban Pirelli.
Baik Sean dan Philo sebelum bertempur di GP2 Series malang melintang di Formula Renault 3.5 World Series yang pemasok bannya adalah Michelin.
"Bedanya ada di karakter ban di mana di FR3.5 itu meski sudah aus tapi masih bisa diajak agresif. Nah di GP2 Series ini benar-benar harus pintar-pintar menjaga keausan ban. Artinya manajerial ban krusial karena sudah aus sudah tak bisa berbuat banyak," celoteh Philo Paz Patrick Armand di kejurna gokart seri 1, Sentul sebelum persiapan ke tes pramusim GP2 Series.
Eh iya, Sean Gelael dan Philo Paz Patrick Armand berada di tim berbeda namun dari tampilan livery mobil, khususnya di bagian penutup mesin, mirip terpampang logo restoran cepat saji.
Memang kalau ditengok detail perbedaannya cukup kentara. Mobil Sean didominasi warna kuning dan mobil Philo kombinasi biru dan kuning. Jadi sudah bisa bedakan dong mana mobil Sean dan Philo di GP2 Series musim ini, bukan? (otomotifnet.com)
