Next stop Hockenheimring

13/06/14 - Nearly 30 drivers of all ages will start this weekend in the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup races at the Hockenheimring (GER). The youngest driver is 16 years old, the oldest, Robert Siska from the USA (Inter Europol Competition), is 71 years of age and has been racing with the FR2.0 NEC since 2008. He always takes part in three to four races every year. And, like in 2011, another experienced driver will be at the start this weekend; Harri Salminen (45 years old) from Finland (PositiOne Motorsport). This weekend the drivers will contest in three races. The first race is on Saturday, while the second and third are on Sunday. Harri Salminen (PositiOne Motorsport): “I drove the FR2.0 in 2011 at Hockenheim and at Spa-Francorchamps. It will be a double duty weekend for me at Hockenheim as both teammanager and driver. I am really looking forward to this and to coming back to one of my favorite circuits.”

Usually two races of 25 minutes each are to be completed every weekend. But at the Hockenheimring three races are on the programme. The starting grid for races one and two will be determined in two qualifying sessions of 20 minutes each. The starting grid for the third race is the result of race one, but with the first six cars in reverse order.

 

After the first two events in Monza and Silverstone it is Steijn Schothorst (#11, MP Manor Motorsport) who leads the championship. Ten points behind him is the Swiss Louis Delétraz (#17, Josef Kaufmann Racing) and with a further five points behind in the standings is Seb Morris (#31, Fortec Motorsports). The British driver was able to win his first victory on home soil at Silverstone in the NEC’s second race weekend. He is followed in the standings by the Japanese driver Ukyo Sasahara (#46 Euronova Racing) and the Swiss Levin Amweg (#35, ART Junior team).

 

Josef Kaufmann Racing is the only German team in the paddock. Competing for the Polish Inter Europol Competition team, is the only German driver of the NEC, the 17-year-old Max Biedermann from Mannheim.
