This weekend’s penultimate International Formula Master
(IFM) rounds see the Series’ young racers take to Brands Hatch’s British curves for the first time.
With a 25-point lead, Cram Competition driver Jérôme
D’Ambrosio is well placed to claim the title in front of the British crowds, although another six drivers are still in the
running.
Promotorsport’s Marcello Puglisi is the only driver to
have previous Brands Hatch experience out of the potential title-chasers.
“I
was there last year and I’m glad I already
know the track because it’s very hard so I hope it’ll be easier for
me,” said the 21-year old who has scored a third and two
second place finishes so far this season. “I hope to do my best and win
a race this time. The car has been great ever since Porto. We found a
great set-up then and have been going up and up ever since.
“The
first corner, Paddock Hill, is normally very hard.
You can’t actually see it from the start as it sweeps down which can
make things difficult. There is a fast turn through the second part of
the track that is also hard. It’s another fast blind corner which will
be tricky.”
British driver Michael Meadows, is looking to steal the
limelight from the Series’ regulars with his Brands Hatch knowledge this weekend. The
20-year-old
guest driving for Euronova Racing
finished fourth and sixth earlier this season in British F3 at Brands
Hatch and is looking forward to put his experience to good use.
“Euronova
Racing had their first podium in Oschersleben
with Pierre Ragues,” said Meadows. “I would love to score another for
them this weekend and give the British crowds something to cheer
for!”
