Racing Engineering 2007 Spanish F3 driver selection

What  was  started  as  an  ambitious  project  two  years  ago  will  find  its continuation   in   the   upcoming   season   –  

Racing   Engineering   and   its partners    continue    their    search   for   young   and   promising   drivers, supporting them in their rise through the motor racing ranks. Racing  Engineering,  the  Andalusian  team  participating  in  the  Spanish Formula 3 Championship, as well as in the GP2 Series, is organizing a two day selection test for drivers to enter the team in 2007.

Drivers,  who  have  until  the  30th  of  October  to  send  in  their  C.V.  to info@racing-engineering.com,   will   be   entered   into   the   pre-selection process. On the 3rd of November, eight of these drivers will be chosen to participate in the two day test. One extra driver will be named as reserve driver. On the 16th and 17th of November the selection will take place at the  Jerez  Circuit.  Of  those  eight  drivers,  four  will  be  chosen  as  the drivers,  who  will  be  part  of  the  team  in  2007. 

There  will  also  be  one reserve driver.

Alfonso  de  Orleans-Borbon  explains:  “I  was  amazed  last  year  by  the amount  of  drivers  who  wanted  to  participate  in  this  test.  This  year, without having even officially announced the test yet, we already have an encouraging  number  of  drivers  contacting  us.  I  am  very  pleased  and proud that this project of evaluating young drivers in single seater racing has found such an acceptance. Nevertheless it is important to know that this  test  is  all  but  a  walk  in  the  park  for  the  drivers.  It  is  a  full  day  of intense work for every single one of them. While in the morning they can still get familiar with the team, the track and the car. After a short lunch break  they  will  have  to  be  very  attentive.  We  will  intentionally  put  some strange  set-ups  on  the  cars,  in order to see their feedback. It is only in the last two hours that drivers will be allowed to show us their fastest laps and when they choose the correct time to put on the new set of tires.”
