Drexler-Automotive Formula Cup - Red Bull Ring (AUT)

Next weekend (03-05 June) the Drexler Formula Cup will be visiting Styria. The circuit trophy at the Red Bull Ring has been one of the season's highlights for many years. This season, the Grand Prix circuit will not only be the venue for the Drexler Formula Cup and the Austrian Racing Car Championship, but also for the TOPJET F 2000 Italy Trophy drivers to compete for championship points. This means that the 3rd race weekend of the Drexler Formula Cup will have a more exciting field than it has had for a long time. "We expect around 36 Formula cars and drivers from twelve nations. This means that we can present the spectators with a very strong, internationally well-staffed field. Formula 3 will clearly set the tone," says coordinator Franz Wöss. The Drexler Cup coordinator and team manager from Schwarzenberg is looking forward to the home race in the Alps with the picturesque backdrop of the Red Bull Ring.

Drexler Formula Cup - Monza (ITA)

The second round of the Drexler Formula Cup in Monza was contested by a record field of 40 Formula cars. The clash with the TopJet F2000 Formula Trrophy kept the predicted elements of tension at a very good level. One of the top favourites, Serbian Paolo Brajnik (NV Racing), was already in top form in qualifying with his Dallara F320, setting the fastest time of 1:46.384 minutes. After the eleven-lap chase on the 5.793-kilometre Grand Prix circuit was released on Saturday afternoon, Brajnik took the lead. Behind him was Cian Carey in his first Formula 3 outing for the Franz Wöss Racing team. After Bernardo Pellegrini (HAT Powerteam) could not hold on to his third position and dropped back a bit, Renato Papaleo (One Management) and Sandro Zeller (Jo Zeller Racing) set the tone behind the leading duo. Almost over the entire race distance, the positions remained occupied. When the safety car had to take to the track three minutes before the end of the race, things got exciting again. After the restart, Carey put all his eggs in one basket and passed Brajnik. But Brajnik counter-attacked in the last lap before the chicane and kept the upper hand until the finish with a lead of 0.855 seconds.
