Teenaged Scottish talent Gregor Ramsay finished his 2013 Formula Renault ALPS season on a high by scorching from the back of the grid to a point-scoring finish in the final race of the campaign at Imola.The 17-year-old passed more than half the 28-car field as he sought to make up for a qualifying incident that left his Euronova Racing car almost at the back of the grid.Ramsay made an uncharacteristic mistake early in qualifying, which took place in wet conditions. After running wide onto the slippery Astroturf at the Acque Minerali bend, Gregor hit the barriers, and had to watch as his early lap time – which had seen him among the front-runners – was beaten by nearly the whole field as conditions improved.Undeterred, Ramsay charged through to 13th position in the wet first race. In race two, which took place on a largely dry track that was slippery off line, he was up from 26th on the grid to 10th position with two laps remaining.Unfortunately, a last-lap bid to pass Konstantin Tereschenko for ninth saw Gregor forced off the track by the Russian racer, costing him a further place to Estonian Hans Villemi so that he finished 11th on the road, one place outside the points. But a penalty for an offence committed by one of the drivers ahead promoted Ramsay back up to 10th – great reward for a superb drive.“It was a shame about the qualifying incident, but I’m glad I was able to put that behind me with some good drives in the races,” said Gregor.“We’ve had a few things that haven’t gone our way in the races this year, but this proves we should have finished up in the top 10 in the championship. I think that would have better reflected my pace.”The Imola weekend was Ramsay’s last under the umbrella of Italian motorsport, in which he got his first break into car racing at the tender age of under 15 and a half years old when he made his debut in the Formula Abarth European Series at the end of 2011, after the prestigious Ferrari Driver Academy had played a major part in his acquiring a licence from the Italian motorsport federation.From 2014, Gregor will race under a British licence and his career will be managed from the UK.He still has one more race weekend in 2013 with Euronova Racing, the Italian team run by highly-regarded former international racer Vincenzo Sospiri, as a ‘wildcard’ entrant in the Formula Renault Eurocup finale at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya on 19th-20th October.
