We are very satisfied, we started the week end sizing up in the best way the asphalt’s conditions in the qualifying heats, this allowed us to place our cars in the first positions. During the race, we made a good job to allow to our drivers to safeguard the tyres and this was very important due to the high temperatures in these days in Italy, over than 50 degrees on the asphalt. It was basic to work well on the pressure and on other details of the set up. This made the difference and our drivers completed this successful week end.”

1st-2nd round Euro Cup Alpe Adria Brno - Czech Republic Composit

2010-06-18T03:35:00.000-07:00

Composit Motorsport continues the winning trend in Europe as well
The first round of the Euro Cup Alpe Adria meets the expectations of the
Composit Motorsport, Marco and Paolo Ansaloni's team introduced itself in
the best shape on the Czech track at Brno and gained two victories with
Cristian Ricciarini.
The Composit's driver leapt from the first position in both races and led
from the first to the last lap, without giving up to the rivals. In
particular, in the race-1, the Clio driven by Ricciarini had always on its
back the Swiss driver Mathias Slappi.
The success in the second race was more decisive even if Ricciarini,
according to the regulation that allow to use six new tires during the week
end, used them in the first race, while his most frightful rival, Slappi,
used the new ones in the second race. In the race-2, the Swiss, though he
had new tires, suffered the performances of Ricciarini's Clio, that appeared
perfectly balanced and unbeatable on the technical curves of the Czech
circuit.
The great performance of the Composit Motorssport is underlined by the
double podium of Stefano Zanini in the race-1 and Dan Liposcak in the
race-2.
The team one week later, after the double Italian win at Vallelunga, repeats
itself in the continental Championship and get ready to face the next races
in high spirits.
Now, Paolo and Marco can look quietly to the next engagement of the Alpe
Adria Euro Cup, on July from the 2nd to the 4th on the Hunhgaroring F1
Circuit at Budapest.

Paolo Ansaloni - Team Manager Composit Motorsport:
"We made a wonderful job because in the race 2 we used old tires on
Ricciarini's car, while our direct rival had the new one. Although we were
very competitive and we were able to outdistance Slappi, and this means that
the improvement of the set up between race 1 and race 2 has been incisive."

Marco Ansaloni - Dierettore Sportico Composit Motorsport:
"It has been a positive week end that charges up very much. Dan and Stefano
gained two deserved podiums and this proves that Composit's strength is on
the group."

2010-06-06T22:49:00.000-07:00

Double win and primacy in the Championship after the 3^rd round at Vallelunga.

At Vallelunga the Composit Motorsport played a role already seen in this and in the past season.

In the week end at Vallelunga the Composit Motorsport initialed the pole, two victories and even two podiums, its drivers are at the moment in the first three positions of the ranking and the Team is the leader of the Championship. These results can be summarized as a real triumph.

With the last race at Vallelunga, the team of the Ansaloni’s brothers completes the first three races of the Clio Cup with a muster roll really impressive!

There’s no better introduction for Paolo Ansaloni’s team to get ready in the best way at the forthcoming debut in the Euro Cup Alpe Adria Championship, that will take place next Sunday (June, 6^th) on the spectacular Czech track at Brno.

Also in the Alpe Adria Championship the Composit Motorsport is one of the favorite team, strong of Giancarlo Lenzotti’s win in the past season.

In the Alpe Adria Championship will take the field Cristian Ricciarini, Piero Foglio, Daniele Pasquali, Stefano Zanini and the promising young motorsport Croatian driver Dan Liposcak.

Paolo Ansaloni – Team Manager Composit Motorsport:

“ It has been a great satisfaction to see our cars fighting in both races at the top of the ranking. Besides the Lenzotti’s wonderful double victory, the success is completed by all our drivers, because Ricciarini gained the podium in race-1 and keeps the leadership of the ranking, but also Perfetti made a fantastic race. Very important has been the Marchetti’s race and I also want to underline the performance of Piero Foglio, already very fast on this track during the test as well. Piero was unlucky, but demonstrated of having the rhythm to improve at the end of the season.”

1-2 round Clio cup Italia by Renault 2010 Monza 9/11 Aprile

2010-04-14T06:58:00.000-07:00

Victory and two podiums at the start of the season at Monza.

The first week end of the Composit Motorsport starts in the best way, one podium in race-1 with Marchetti and one victory in race-2 with Ricciarini.

The reigning team presented itself on top form at the first appointment at Monza and placed its cars at the top of the rankings since the qualifying heats.

In race-1 the victory fled to Paolo and Marco Ansaloni’s team only because of a electric black-out on Ricciarini’s car. An inconvenient absolutely independent of the team’s job that robbed the team of a certain victory, in fact Ricciarini was leading the race in that moment.

Anyway in the first race arrived the very good second position of Ronnie Marchetti, a protagonist of the weekend and very fit as well.

In race-2 Ricciarini, very steady after the inconvenient of the day before, showed the best performance of his Clio RS 2.0, taking the lead after the few laps and winning the second round on the very fast track of Monza imperatively .

The next race will be on the Enzo and Dino Ferrari circuit at Imola, on May 15th .

Paolo Ansaloni – Team Manager Composit Motorsport:

“We are satisfied even if we found an electric problem on Ricciarini’s car, in both the races. This problem made us lose the chance of winning the first race and came back again Sunday’s race, this time without prejudicing the final result fortunately. We will analyze inside out the reason because the car is new…”

Marco Ansaloni – Sporting Director Composit Motorsport:

“In both the races the fight has been very hard in every point of the ranking and some of our driver had some unlucky touches and finished not very well. We will schedule other training tests in the next weeks, in order to prepare the second round at Imola.”

The Team run by the Ansaloni brothers is the reigning champion in both the ranking, team and driver, for this reason will show off the number one on Ricciarini’s car.
The Composit Motorsort carried out the last test on the track Franciacorta, near Brescia, with the drivers Enrico Dell’Onte, Piero Foglio, Giuliano Lolli, Daniele Pasquali e Cristian Ricciarini and everything went well.
The team will line up at the first race of the Italian Championship on the Monza’s circuit nine cars and the staff want to keep any driver to the top of the ranking.
One of the secret to be competitive since the first race is the tuning up of the cars and the hard job done by the Composit during the winter will make the difference.

Paolo Ansaloni – Team Manager Composit Motorsport:

“One of the most important thing of the first race will be the new engine, it needs to have covered a quite number of kilometers, for this reason is very important to run in it before the first race. We have made this job during the test and I am confident that it will give us a little advantage. Our drivers are in a good shape, Ricciarini, Lenzotti and Marchetti have good chances to stay in the front but also Daniele can put any top driver on the spot and win. Zanini improved very much as well, and he is another probable winner. Among the top driver I see also Pasquali, Lolli, Foglio, Anselmo and dell’Onte, they made a good job and improved very much as well, for this I am sure that they will have great satisfactions this season.”

Marco Ansaloni – Sporting Director Composit Motorsport:
“We trained very much and worked very hard, taking care of any single detail tuning up the cars, as is usual for us. We made long test days on the circuits where will take place the Championship and we took care of any driver, so that they could arrive to the first race in best condition of the car. This is the secret of our success in the past and …. I hope in the future as well.”
