Daniel Tapinos (Franz Wöss Racing), who is in fifth place, can also hope for a respectable finish and lay the foundation for this already in Vallelunga.

Drexler Formula Cup - Red Bull Ring (AUT)

With a great motorsport event, the circuit trophy at the Red Bull Ring was fully convincing. The total of 17 races offered the fans a lot of action and variety on and off the race track in Styria with free admission. The 4th round of the Drexler Formula Cup offered plenty of excitement with a field of 30 formula cars. As expected, the first qualifying session was very close after the free practice sessions on Friday. Sandro Zeller (Jo Zeller Racing) secured pole position with a time of 1:28.077 min. With a gap of only 0.065 seconds, Bernardo Pellegrini (HT Powerteam) was also on the first row of the grid, followed by Dino Rasero (Puresport) and Paolo Brajnik (NV Racing). After the lights went green, a four-way battle developed during the 13-lap chase. Sandro Zeller tried to escape to the front and kept his rivals at bay. While Pellegrini and Rasero lost contact to Zeller, Paolo Brajink got into better and better shape and settled behind Sandro Zeller. In the last third of the race, the Serbian had caught the right moment in one of his attacks on the Swiss defending champion and passed him. Zeller tried to counterattack again, but Brajnik defended his lead with an advantage of 2.374 seconds until the finish. Dino Rasero was a respectable third, followed by his compatriot Renato Papaleo (One Management) and Benjamin Berta (Team Hoffmann Racing). The Japanese Juju Noda (Vadum Racing) showed a strong race to catch up, coming from 15th on the grid to sixth.

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.
