Former Formula 1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve endured a frustrating day of work in his second race of the South American Top Race series in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
Friday, his No. 27 Mercedes-Benz suffered from repetitive electrical gremlins.
This morning during the second free practice session, Villeneuve endured engine problems that restricted his track time.
Villeneuve had high hopes for the first qualifying session. Unfortunately, he cut the left front tire and was forced to pit for a tire change.
In the afternoon, in the second qualifying session, the Canadian set the 25th fastest time, 1,980 second from pole position holder José Maria Lopez in a Ford Mondeo.
The race will start at 12:30 Sunday.
