Martin Young, team manager of Fortec Motorsport: “We really hope Barnicoat will score another win. It is such close racing in this championship and he is able to win. Of our four drivers in this championship Seb Morris is also in the top 10. He is very talented and should be able to move up in the championship as well.”

 

Apart from the leader there is a second Dutch driver in the championship: Roy Geerts, last years winner of the Formula Renault 1.6 NEC Junior. Geerts now races with the AVF team and so far is 18th in the championship.

 

Roy Geerts # 18: “The season is not really going as I hoped it would be. But I am learning a lot and getting better, so for me the only way is up. I do need more focus on the qualifying in this very competitive championship. I will put everything in my power to move up in the championship this weekend at Assen. Not my home circuit as that is Zandvoort, but I always find something interesting in any circuit. So I am looking forward to race there again.”
