Victories, podiums and plenty of satisfaction for the Alex Caffi Motorsports team in the semi-finals of the 2018 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series, on the historic German track of Hockenheim. The team of the Monegasque former F1 driver established as one of the stars in the playoffs of the spectacular series born in the United States, with a crescendo of results to confirm the excellent performances provided constantly during the season.
In Elite 1 Finnish Henri Tuoomala on a Ford Mustang clinched victory in the Challenge and 10th place overall in race 1 on Saturday. On Sunday, in race 2, he contributed to the team's one-two in the Challenge standings, finishing second behind his Japanese team-mate Kenko Miura, winner at the wheel of the Toyota Camry after retiring on Saturday due to a minor technical problem. More great performances in Elite 2: in race 1 Saturday Kenko Miura and Italian Pierluigi Veronesi (Ford Mustang) finished second and third among the rookies, while in race 2 Sunday Veronesi repeated third place among the rookies behind the team's second Ford Mustang, driven by Finn Jesse Vartiainen, second in the special ranking. The two finished in sixth and seventh place overall. In the Elite Club, a one-two for the team, with Indian driver Advait Deodhar (Ford Mustang) leading ahead of the division's defending champion, Austrian Andreas Kuchelbacher (Toyota Camry). Fifth position for Belgian Jerome Francois on the second Ford Mustang.
Alex Caffi said “A more than positive weekend, I would say one of the best since we started this adventure in Nascar. Many trophies, many podiums in the categories. The Finnish drivers were a surprise, both scored podiums as soon as they got on the track. Pierluigi Veronesi is very satisfied to bring home two podium finishes and within the overall top ten. Kenko Miura was very unlucky, suffering two breakdowns due to small technical problems. In the end he made up for it with a victory in the Challenge and a second place among the Rookies. Great happiness in the team where everyone is extremely motivated, we will try to do our best for the last round in just over a month at the Zolder Final”.
The Finals of the 2018 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series 2018 are scheduled in one month, on the Belgian track of Zolder.
