Finnish KIC Motorsport is competing its’ 4th season in international Formula Regional by Alpine European Championship series. Now in fourth weekend of the season 2022 it accomplished its’ best results for this season in french circuit of Paul Ricard as mexican Santiago Ramos collect 16th and italian Francesco Braschi 17th position in overall results. Polish Piotr Wisnicki couldn’t reach to same level he was in previous events and therefore 27th position was a big dissapointment in very hot weather conditions.
All three drivers are competing their debut year in Formula Regional by Alpine European Championship series. In season 2021 they all competed in Formula-4 series and therefore they now drive for rookie Championship points. Even they haven’t collect any points in first eight rounds of the season, KIC Motorsport team manager believes that it’s only a matter of time when Ramos, Braschi and Wisnicki will make their first top-10 position in overall classifications.
– Even we’re currently finishing events narrowly outside points positions, we’re not far away from other rookie drivers who’re facing same issues as we. Competition level in Formula Regional by Alpine European Championship series is very high and now we’re taken another step towards top rookie drivers who’re just only half seconds ahead of us. Ofcourse we still have lots and lots of work to be done as only 10 top drivers gets those points. But we’re making hellowa job as a team and it delivered us season best results. We aim to improve in next two weeks at dutch circuit of Zandvoort, team manager Peter Flythström tells.
– In French racing weekend at Paul Ricards 35 competitors with teams got a new challenge as very hot summer weather made Le Castellet arena very sweaty. For our drivers it showed that they need to take care of their physics as it was very tricky to race in intense conditions. This was seen in the final laps of both races as many drivers suffered lack of physics to compete all 30 minutes, Flythström tells.
