Malja hits the top again in Day 2 of WSR Aragon test

The second day of the Renault 3.5 collective test at Motorland Aragon was once again a very productive one for Zeta Corse. Rookie Gustav Malja, who scored the fastest lap of the second session held on Monday, ended up session 4 in second place today, despite an engine woe that kept him in the pits for a large amount of time. In the morning segment, the Swede ended up off-track, turning only 15 laps.

Then, in the afternoon, he had an engine change rebounded promptly also thanks to the good assistance by the team. Zeta Corse also fielded a rookie driver, Vasily Romanov, who was among the stars of the F.Renault ALPS series and the Eurocup Renault. He was at his first steps on a Dallara-Zytek and approached the job cleverly, leaving the research of a quick laps

“Malja was absolutely impressive once again. After the crash at the start, which happened in very tricky asphalt conditions, and the engine issues, Gustav managed to find a way back to the top of the charts with the new tires on. And it was a very tough job to do. With the other car we helped young Russian driver Romanov to make his debut. He did a very good job in carrying-on the scheduled plan”.
