Robert wins 'Napoli Race of Champions'!

NAPOLI, JUNE 05 2006 – Like the event which is organised in December every year, Napoli hosted the Italian version of the Race of Champions this weekend. Driving in Subaru Group N rallycars, Renault Mégane Cup cars and Saleen GT’s, Robert had to take it up against many drivers, including Giancarlo Fisichella, Max Biaggi, Mika Salo, Andrea Montermini and Tonio Liuzzi. After having won several heats, Robert had to battle with Andrea Montermini in the finals. By driving the fastest laptime in this two-lap race, Robert won the event in front of an audience of about 13.000 people.

ROBERT DOORNBOS: “This was good fun. It was the first time I raced a car with a roof on top of me, so after testing with RBR the last three days, that was quite weird, haha! Today I’ll take a flight to the UK, where I’m expected to do our shakedown for next weekend’s GP at Santa Pod.”
