Will Palmer’s Formula Renault title chase heads to Spa this weekend
Will Palmer takes his Formula Renault Eurocup championship
crusade to the world-famous Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium
this weekend (23/24 September) for his penultimate meeting of the
season with the R-ace GP team.
The BRDC Superstar will face an expanded programme at the fast and
flowing Ardennes circuit this weekend, with three races across the
two days with two on Saturday, followed by an additional one on
Sunday. The grids for this weekend's three races will be determined
by two qualifying sessions on Friday afternoon.
Will has prior experience of the 7.004-kilometre circuit,
following outings in the last season's Formula Renault Eurocup and
Northern European Cup, alongside a podium-finishing guest
appearance in the BRDC British F3 Championship.
With a massive 75 points available this weekend, these three races
present Will with a golden opportunity to seize the momentum in a
season where he has been a contender from day one. The Sussex
driver has claimed three race victories so far this season,
alongside an additional four podiums, whilst he's finished the
majority of the other races in the top-five.
Will produced a fighting display last time out at the Circuit Paul
Ricard in France, where he was the only driver in title contention
to score points in both races. As a result, he lies second in the
standings heading into this weekend's event, just 27 points behind
Sacha Fenestraz.
Will said: "I'm really looking forward to the second-last round of
the season at Spa. We are still close to the championship lead,
only 27 points off, so I will be doing everything I can to close
that gap this weekend. Spa is one of my favourite tracks and I had
strong pace there last year, so it should be a strong one for us.
There are three races this weekend meaning a lot of points on offer
so it should be an exciting weekend!"
