TRD3: FPA World Series Round 4 Zandvort
Round 4 brings us back to Europe at the Zandvort circuit in Holland. Zandvort is right next to the beach and the stars of the series will have a chance to top up their tans before hitting the track.
Sand from the beaches often blow onto the track so the track gets very dusty at times. This means grip will be less than usual, especially in practice so our drivers will have to take extra special care.
Series Leader, Muz stalled on the grid last time at Barbegello and therefore scored nil pois :( His once mighty lead over Peter Vuko has dropped to just a measley 5 points. Figures crossed he will have better luck here. Muz will be hoping to repeat his victories in the opening two rounds of the series.
Peter Vuko is now back in the series battle. The Aussie has enjoyed some consistent results with two 3rds and a 4th last time out. He has shown very good speed in other series and he should have his first win before long.
Vuko's son Steven returned to racing at Barbegello and finished 3rd. It is unone whenever he will be racing full time or not but some people say he's even faster than his father.
Pole, Adam Sloma entered the series late at Oran Park but has shown some very quick although slightly erratic pace and finished 2nd on his debut followed by a win at Barbegello, both from pole postion. Sloma is definately the red hot favourite for the win here and is easily the fastest driver in the series.
Young Brit RaikkonenRules started his campain with a pair of 5ths and was right on the pace at Barbegello with a 2nd place. The youngest driver in the series is now 4th in the championship just 8 points off Muz.
BobZee has had some good pace recently being only just off the leading pace. As has American Johnny Shell. Fellow American Lugnut started the series with a 2nd at Brands but hasn't raced since due to personal issues. He hopes to make a return soon, hopefully today.
Of the rest of the field Real Illusions has been reguly in the top 10 as has Neil Adams. Another Brit Jon Brown has just withdrawn due to funding but showed excellent pace at Brands with a 4th.
So will Sloma repeat his win at Barbegello or will Muz get back to winning ways. Find out on February 9 20:00 GMT.
Re FAP Rd 4 Practice/Qualifying Sessions
A few teams have already arrived at Norisring for Rd 4 of the FPA series. Practice sessions have begun. Once again the Pole Adam Sloma is showing the way. The top 4 times so far : 1. A.Sloma 1m.14.58 2. P.Vuko 1m.14.81 3.BobZee 1m.15.28 4. J.Shell 1m.19.02.
This is a very difficult track to master & a good set up is vital. R/R, Vuko Jnr are expecting to arrive today - we hope to see some quick times from them. Muz is still sorting out the problems on his car from last Rd but he is confident of getting to the grid. Rumours are that US driver Lugnut may make to this Rd. More info on the practice sessions in the next few days.
