Team KTR dominates fourth round of NEC at Oschersleben

Danish Mikkel Mac has scored two victories out of three Formula Renault 2.0 NEC races at the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben this weekend. Leader in the current standings Ludwig Ghidi seemed to be sentenced to third place for the entire weekend, seeing his 34-point lead vaporize to just 17.

The Grosse Preis der Stadt Magdeburg held a premiere for the Northern European Cup with a programme of three races instead

of the usual two. As if the challenge of an extra race was not enough, the extraordinary heat (37 degrees and over) made this weekend into a true survival of the fittest.

Winners of the Northern European Cup set fastest

times in Formula Renault 3.5 test

Antonio Felix Da Costa, Kevin Magnussen and Marco Sorensen

have collected their prize for being first three drivers of the Northern European Cup in 2009. In the morning of the 27th of October the young drivers came together at brand new Motorland Aragon, and showed their talent by putting the best three times on the screens during the test with the Formula Renault 3.5.

Fastest and most surprising driver of the day was Kevin Magnussen. Although he never stepped in the World Series car before, he managed to set a time (1.43.609) that proved to be unbeatable by any of the other 29 drivers testing that day.

Last round of the Northern European Cup 2009 at

Spa - Francorchamps

The finale of the Northern European Cup takes place during the Racing Festival (2nd until the 4th of October) on the world famous track of Spa – Francorchamps.

Antonio Felix Da Costa already earned the 2009 title during the last race on the Nuerburgring, but for teammates Magnussen and Quaife-Hobbs there is still the title of vice-champion to fight for.

This year’s season already counted seven different number ones in fourteen different races. This high ratio of different winners proves the high level of competitiveness among drivers and teams in the Formula Renault 2.0 cars. Although this year’s title has already been decided, it is still surprisingly exciting when you take a closer look at the standings for the top ten. For example, Marco Sorensen, Kevin Korjus and Daniel Aho are currently in 4th, 5th and 6th position, but are all within 2 points of each other.

Felix Da Costa takes NEC title 2009 at Nuerburgring

By taking the win during the second race of the weekend, Antonio Felix Da Costa has written his name on the 2009 Northern European Cup. The World Series by Renault was host to the two best races of the season this far, containing a maximum of battles for position and ultimately overtaking manoeuvres during both races on Sunday the 20th of September.

The first race for the Formula Renault 2.0 NEC was also the first one of the day on the early Sunday morning. Nineteen 2-litre single-seaters were gathered at the pre-grid to compete for the thirteenth race of the season. The conditions were promising, as the weather was dry and sunny, but because of the early morning there were still a lot of wet spots on track.
