The SpeedRS Team was back in action after a three-week break for the first European round of the season at the Circuito de Jerez Ángel-Nieto for the Spanish Grand Prix. For the Andalusian weekend, the team is on track with a special livery designed by Beta Tools, a long-standing partner of the team.

Among the key updates is the return of Luca Lunetta, back on the bike less than two months after the injury sustained in Thailand: an important first step in his recovery process and his return to full-season activity.

Encouraging signs on the opening day, especially from Celestino Vietti. The number 13 rider finished FP1 in second position with a lap time of 1:39.555. In the afternoon session, Vietti continued working on a different configuration of his Boscoscuro, improving further and eventually setting a 1:39.535 on his last available lap. A time that still leaves room for improvement for tomorrow and, in the meantime, secured him direct access to Q2.

A more challenging day instead for Luca Lunetta. On his return after the forced break, the number 32 rider used the sessions to regain rhythm and feeling with the bike, also focusing on recovering physical condition ahead of the race. The young Roman rider finished the Practice session in 24th position with a time of 1:40.093 and will therefore have to go through Q1 tomorrow.

CELESTINO VIETTI #13: P14 in 1’39.535
“A good Friday. We started well this morning, with good sensations. We found a similar condition to the test, while in the afternoon I had some difficulties finding a clear track during the time attack and struggled to put everything together. I didn’t do a great lap, but at least we managed to get into Q2, which is the Friday afternoon goal. Let’s see tomorrow if we can make a step forward”.

LUCA LUNETTA #32: P24 in 1’40.093
“I’m happy and satisfied with the first day of practice. Obviously, I’m super happy to be back on the bike and working again with the team: they welcomed me with open arms. This definitely makes me feel comfortable and gives me strength and motivation to do well. We set good lap times, +1.1 from the leader. There is a lot of work to do, but I’m super motivated and eager to improve. Step by step we need to regain rhythm and improve, because we have limited mileage behind us, but I’m sure we will do a great job. This race will be a starting point to begin working towards the future. Thanks everyone for the support, as always”.
