    AVF scores top-5 at Nurburgring

    It was a more than positive weekend for AVF at the Nurburgring. After cruising to the lead of the World Series Formula V8 3.5 in both the driver and team standings, the operation led by Adrián Vallés left a strong impression in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 too by capturing great results. The weekend featured variable weather conditions, and an hefty rainfall hit the track on Sunday morning, putting Henrique Chaves out of contention in a re-start behind the safety-car. Extremely quick in qualifying with the fourth fastest laptime of Group A, the Portuguese ended the first race of the weekend in P5 though, really close to the overall podium positions. 

    The growth of Axel Matus was extremely valuable too. He was ninth in Group A in the second qualifying session and also ended up P12 on Sunday. Tomas Randle was positive too at his second appearance of the season. He stayed in the points zone with a ninth place in race 2 after barely missing the top-10 on Saturday in 11th place.

    “It has been a really positive weekend for the whole team. It hasn’t been easy to race in both the World Series Formula V8 3.5 and the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, but the guys did an amazing job delivering one of the best weekends in the history of our team. I feel for Henrique, who was put out of contention in the earliest stages under the rain. I’m sure he would have impressed. Axel and Thomas are establishing themselves among the most solid drivers of the series and I’m sure that next weekend, at Spielberg, we will continue to follow the same positive path.”
