Disappointing day for Narain

Coimbatore: It was a disappointing day for India’s Narain Karthikeyan in the fifth round of the A1GP season at the Taupo Motorsport Park in New Zealand on Saturday.

Narain tackled the tricky weather conditions with comfort but experienced severe gear problems in the entire qualifying session. Narain will now start 20th and 19th on the grid for Sunday’s Sprint and Feature races respectively.

“I had a problem during downshifting of the gear box. It persisted from this morning’s practice through the entire qualifying session. It seems more like a mechanical than an electronic problem. The team is working on the car now,” said Narain, who registered a lap timing of 1:16.791s.

The team’s mechanics, along with A1GP and Zytek engineers, are trying to work on the problem and will look at turning around the car’s performance for Sunday.
