Scotland’s Gregor Ramsay is gunning for his first points in the ultra-competitive Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup after an encouraging performance in the latest round at the Hungaroring.The 18-year-old Lotus F1 Team Junior raced well at the Hungarian Grand Prix circuit near Budapest from disappointing grid positions, pulling off a series of overtaking moves to take 15th in race one and 17th in race two in his KTR-run car.In wet qualifying, Ramsay took 20th on the grid for race one, although he was within a second of a top-10 spot. He made good progress in the dry race to finish 15th, the second best of the five Britons in the race, although any further progress was scuppered as the field strung out quickly around the highly technical circuit.A problem at the start of race two left Gregor at the very back of the 27-car field, but in front of a 92,000-strong crowd he pulled off a series of overtaking moves to rise as high as 15th before dropping back to 17th after a mid-race safety car.“We were struggling in the wet in qualifying with our set-up,” said Ramsay. “But I’m glad it dried out in the races! Our pace was actually a lot better in the first race, but there weren’t so many passing opportunities because the field spread out after the first couple of laps.“The car bogged down at the start of race two and I dropped to dead last, but by lap four I was up to 15th – on a track where it’s supposed to be impossible to pass. I did a lot of overtaking moves, including one on the outside of Turn 4, a fast left-hander. That was a bit tricky but a good move I’d say! After the safety car, my tyre pressures were a bit too high and I had a lot oversteer, especially in the last corner, which cost me a couple of places.”The performance came on the back of two strong showings as a wildcard runner in the Formula Renault Northern European Cup at Assen in the Netherlands and Most in the Czech Republic, which featured three points-scoring results.At Assen, Gregor was heading towards the top 10. He was up to 11th when he was given a drive-through penalty. At Most, he was up to seventh in the opening race, but was taken out of contention in a midjudged move by a driver behind him.The next round of the Eurocup is coming up soon at the Paul Ricard circuit in the south of France on 27th/28th September. “We were quick there in winter testing,” said Ramsay. “So I’m really looking forward to it and hopefully we can get my first Eurocup points on the board there.”
