In
what is possibly the best
International Formula Master race of the season so far J.D.
Motorsport’s Chris Van der Drift came out best of an eight-way battle
for victory
in Oschersleben, Germany this morning.
After
a great start from seventh place on the grid, the Dutchman shortly
found himself stuck behind race leader Luca Persiani (Scuderia Fama).
Persiani
defended brilliantly and it took Van der Drift until lap 19 to take the
lead after which he pulled out a 14-second lead by the chequered flag.
The
result puts him second in the Drivers standings with four races left to
go.
Marcello Puglisi (Promotorsport), starting from fifth place, finished the race in second ahead of Euronova
Racing’s Pierre Ragues in third.
Despite
loosing half of his rear wing after in incident into turn one, current
Series leader Jerome D’Ambrosio (Cram Competition),
managed to finish the 28-lap race in eighth place.
The race was overshadowed by a spectacular somersault in turn nine, when Iris Project’s Oliver Campos Hull lost control of his
Formula S2000 and flipped mid-air. Campos Hull was lucky and walked away from it unhurt.
 Chris Van der Drift, J.D. Motorsport
"You
always push the same and
see what you get out of it and today we got a win. I was quicker than
Puglisi and he made a mistake coming into turn one, so I made a run on
him
coming down the straight and it worked out quite nicely. From then I
just started to pull away.”
