Valencia will be the second to last last meeting of the World Series by Nissan, and will host the Final Round of the World Series Light and the Spanish Formula Junior Championship.
Valencia looks to be very decisive for Heikki Kovalainen (Pons Racing), who is set to take the World Series by Nissan 2004 Championship, as he only has to score three points to secure the title in the footsteps of Ricardo Zonta and Franck Montagny.
Four drivers are still in the bid for the vice-championship: Tiago Monteiro (Carlin Motorsport), Enrique Bernoldi (GD Racing), JC Ravier (Epsilon Euskadi) and Tristan Gommendy (Saulnier Racing)
Félix Porteiro, Adrián Vallés and Sergio Hernández consider this event as their home race and are particulary optimistic. Felix Porteiro achieved his first ever World Series victory in his debut with Team Epsilon Euskadi in Barcelona. Adrian Valles completed a very successful weekend achieving the second place in Race 2 and establishing a new lap record on the Circuit.
In Valencia the Series may see the debut of Santiago Porteiro (former F Nissan Champion) and it is now confirmed that Karum Chandok will race for RC Motorsport replacing Tomas Kostka
This Event will see the Final Rounds of the World Series Light. Milos Pavlovic was crowned Champion in Barcelona and he is keen to invest his prize money (180.000 Euros) in his future - the World Series by Renault. But the second place stills open to three different and very competitive drivers: the Spaniard Celso Miguez, the Italian Matteo Pellegrino and the Frenchman Simon Abadie.
The Circuit of Valencia has already played host to the WS this Season. The meeting disputed in June saw Kovalainen and Ravier sharing the podiums while Gommendy and Porteiro switched 3rd positions. The official Lap Record is still in possession of Ricardo Zonta, 1.23.570.
Jerez is the Final Round of the World Series on 7th November. This Meeting is scheduled in replacement of the race in Zhuhai (China)
