– When we finally got to the race in August we immediately saw the high competition level of the series when the drivers of the Italian Prema Powerteam dominated the events. However, we did not give up as in second half of the season our determined work began to deliver us the results we had hoped for and with it in a total of eleven races KIC Motorsport driver celebrated the podium finish; Patrik Pasma grabbed four wins and two second places, Jüri Vips two wins and one silver place and Konsta Lappalainen one silver and one bronze. In this way, the teams’ silver place was fully earned, Petri Lappalainen says.
– During the season we all faced multiple wet races as the race season lasted until the begining of December. Eventually wet conditions suited perfect for our drivers; The more demanding the weather was, the better our performance was. This was also demonstrated in Vallelunga as Patrik Pasma made the fastest lap time in the first race and Konsta Lappalainen made same result in the final round of the series. I am very happy with all of our team drivers’ performance and, above all, the development our drivers accomplished during the season, Peter Flythström continues.
