ALAJAJIAN’S QUALIFYING PAIR OF HIGH FIVE’S
Protecnica Racing’s Chris Alajajian will start both races in the penultimate round of the Kumho Tyres Australian Formula 3 Championship for the CAMS Gold Star from fifth on the grid.
The races will be held at Eastern Creek Raceway in Sydney, where Australian Formula 3 is the primary support category for the A1 Grand Prix of Nations, Australia.
Alajajian, 19, started the day looking to make up for lost time from Friday’s practice sessions, when old tyres limited the meaningful setup work he and the team could undertake on the Jack Hillermans Smash Dallara F304 Renault-Sodemo.
In the first qualifying session, the team showed that despite the less than ideal build-up, they could still be a force to be reckoned with.
With a time of 1:24.7722 around the 3.93km circuit, Sydneysider Alajajian secured fifth place on the grid for the opening race.
