Next season Aurora is preparing a strong team and will soon announce the drivers.

El pontevedrés Celso Míguez ha rodado durante el día de hoy en la pista manchega de La Torrecica (Albacete), en lo que ha significado su primera toma de contacto con su nueva montura, el Ferrari 430 GT de Aurora Racing, y también con el que será su compañero de equipo, el corredor de Coimbra (Portugal), Hugo Godinho.

Celso ha podido dar nada menos que cincuenta vueltas, marcando tiempos muy competitivos, a pesar del calor reinante en Albacete. El gallego afrontará esta temporada un gran reto tras abandonar el mundo de los monoplazas para entrar en el de los GT, en el que espera poder cimentar una sólida carrera en los próximos años.
Sin mayor demora, esta misma tarde, el español viajará junto a su nuevo equipo, Aurora Racing Team, hacia Valencia, donde a partir de mañana tendrá lugar el primer meeting de la temporada del Campeonato de España Iber GT.

Celso Míguez: “Tenía muchas ganas de comenzar a trabajar. Ponerme por fin al volante del Ferrari y trabajar con mi ingeniero y mi compañero de equipo en mi adaptación al coche y los reglajes. Hoy hemos podido rodar mucho tiempo, sin el más mínimo incidente, y ha sido una jornada muy provechosa. Mañana al mediodía saltaremos a pista en Valencia, donde por fin comenzará el campeonato de verdad. Estoy muy ilusionado con este nuevo proyecto y giro que ha dado mi carrera deportiva en los últimos meses. Aurora Racing Team es un equipo muy profesional y tengo mucha fe en que juntos podamos hacer una gran año. Nuestro objetivo será pelear por el título a final de temporada.”

É já no próximo fim-de-semana em Valência que terá início o Campeonato de España de GT/Iber GT, uma competição vencida pelo Aurora Racing Team em 2010, tendo a equipa algarvia fundadas esperanças em repetir o seu feito da temporada passada.

A formação liderada no terreno por Fernando Moreira voltará a colocar em pista o seu Ferrari 430 GT2, uma máquina que continua a ser uma das propostas mais competitivas do panorama internacional das corridas de GT’s. O carro de Maranello será este ano dividido por Celso Miguez e por Hugo Godinho, uma dupla que garante ao Aurora Racing Team a competitividade necessária para manter os resultados de acordo com os seus pergaminhos.  

O piloto espanhol, que já passou pela World Series by Reanult e pelo European Fórmula 3 Open, estreia-se esta temporada nos GT’s, mas demonstra-se optimista num bom resultado. "A intenção é somar o maior número de pontos possíveis, tendo em vista o campeonato mas, se estivermos em condições de lutar pela vitória, vamos agarrar a oportunidade com as duas mãos. Esta é a minha estreia nos GT’s e é claro que ainda tenho muito a aprender, mas a minha adaptação está a correr bem, o que me deixa confiante", afirmou com firmeza o mais novo recruta do Aurora Racing Team.

Por seu lado, Hugo Godinho já conhece a equipa edificada por Marcel Sanders, depois de uma excelente prova que realizou em 2010 no Autódromo do Estoril, mostrando-se motivado para se assumir, juntamente com o seu colega de equipa, como um dos contendores do campeonato. "Face às condições que temos à nossa disposição, olhamos para a vitória como uma possibilidade. No entanto, é necessário ter os novos GT3 em atenção. O campeonato é longo e, antes de mais é preciso garantir pódios, que será o nosso objectivo, mas sempre com o sentido no degrau mais alto do pódio", sublinhou o piloto oriundo de Coimbra.  

O Aurora Racing Team entrará amanhã em pista para uma sessão de testes, realizando-se as qualificações no sábado e as corridas no domingo.

The last Open GT championship event played in Barcelona on 29-31 October will feature one of the best team of young drivers of the moment, consisted of Alvaro Parente and Nelson Piquet Jr at the wheel of a Ferrari 430 GT2 from Aurora Racing Team.

After the tests carried out in Portugal, it is now time to put in the competition this team, which ART managed to secure to be present in last race of the GT Open championship, throwing therefore the challenge to be part, in 2011, of the most competitive and mediatic GT championship in Europe.
 
With the presence already assured of the WRC pilots team, Sebastien Loeb and Daniel Sordo at the wheel of a Porsche in the GT3 class, Alvaro Parente and Nelson Piquet will enhance even more the event’s program held on the Circuit of Catalunya, being one of the major candidates to the final victory in the premier class, the GT2.
 
The conquest of the Spanish GT Championship in Jerez, as well as, the second place, the team showed ART’s good preparation, when it was introduced in 2010, having also leaded with Álvaro PArente, the Open GT race, which was held simultaneously with the CEGT. In the first race of the championship, held in Valencia, Alvaro Parente at the wheel of a car with different specifications from its "siblings", the most powerful cars in the Open GT, he led the entire race until the pilots’ exchange, and the team still achieved a stunning second place in the overall.
 
With a successful career in the formulas, which the excellent test with the Renault F1 stand up, as well as, the two titles won in the World Series by Renault and in the British F3, Alvaro Parente has always known how to use all opportunities, which have been presented to him, facing all competitions the same way (GP2 Series, Super League Formula, Le Mans Series and CEGT), obtaining excellent results, especially this year’s brilliant 2nd place in SPA - Francorchamp in his return to GP2 after a year, the pole- position won on his debut in the Le Mans Series race and the mastery shown in CEGT, as well as, the big races and victories in Super League Formula, despite the bad luck that dogged him.
 
This new invitation to the Open GT race is thus seen by Alvaro Parente, as "another excellent opportunity to show my value in any car, especially being part of a team that always gave me lots of love and to be able to count on the companionship of a great pilot and friend, as Nelsinho". The goals are identical to all races and competitions in which he participates, being part of them "win both races and reach the pole, knowing that we have the handicap of not having participated in this championship and therefore, we are underdeveloped in comparison to the other teams in terms of tuning ".
 
F1 Renault driver, British F3 champion and ranked second in GP2 behind Lewis Hamilton, Nelson Piquet Jr, he has always shown to be another great talent from Brazil, always achieving outstanding results in any competition that he is present. This year he is competing in the league that gives access to NASCAR and to the stock car in Brazil, Nelson Piquet Jr. is still interested in competing in Europe, whenever he gets the chance to do so, and therefore, ART’s invitation was promptly received, by pursuing the work already done in testing made in the early summer, when he made his first contact with staff and with the car.
 
Nelson Piquet Jr " We announced this race six months ago and I’m really excited that now the weekend is finally here! It will be really great to race at Barcelona again, it’s a nice circuit and one I know well. It will also be good to race together with Alvaro [Parente] who is a very good driver who I get on well with. I hope that we can get a strong result with Aurora Racing in my first GT race."

The new Champion of Spain in GT is Francisco Cruz Martins, regular partner of Alvaro Parente, who is not champion, but third place, because at the Estoril race could not attend due to other sporting commitments. But victory is not only of Cruz Martins, is actually for the whole team, who have mastered all season with great authority.

All round brilliant weekend podium results for the Aurora Racing Team drivers has confirmed a well deserved 2010 championship victory.
Manuel Giao and Juan Manuel López returned to win at the Circuit de Navarra, in the second of the scheduled races in the fifth round of the Spanish GT Championship, with more than fifteen thousand spectators. With the fastest time achieved in the second qualifying session through the Argentine Juan Manuel López, the Portuguese Ferrari number 2, started and maintained the first position in the first half of the race.
When the time of the driver change begun, López gave the car to Manuel Giao which was in the first place, and the Portuguese remained without problems despite having fifteen seconds maximum handicap than their opponents, the ART Ferrari 430 of Parente and Cruz Martins, who with second and third place in Navarra, retains the leadership.
