The team took advantage of free training to prepare for qualifying a new set of brakes and to further improve the set-up of the car. Technicians from competing teams Homola and Krenek Motorsport Motorsport came to the rescue. Turns out what our team and unfortunately I have concluded is that the BMW car still is missing some very important improvements, mainly in the shocks and suspension.

"It's a long track, and you make a mistake in a few places, lose a whole second. FWD is very difficult, because it is necessary to drive cleanly and smoothly, since my car has a lot of horsepower to the front axle. I did my best, it was very difficult. We'll see what happens on Sunday, saying it will be rain as me and does not fit most, but it does not matter, the long season ahead of us" said Dusan Borković describing the Slovakiaring.

"The track is such that it does not allow a lot of attempts, but this is only the beginning of the season. Certainly we need to improve and expedite the car. Surely it was harder for me than other competitors because I have no experience in developing the car. In Morocco, I achieved the best results, and as the season goes all the speeding cars, and I, frankly, going a little harder. I hope that in the rest of the season to improve the car and that I would make mistakes less" said Dusan Borković.
