Aside from superb on-track action and a growing
international profile, International Formula Master’s Formula S2000 is fast developing a reputation as a great hill climber.
IFM team Jenzer Motosport, together with driver Florian
Lachat, have enjoyed great results following the Formula S2000’s entry into a range of hill climbing challenges in Switzerland.
Les
Rangiers saw the single-seater successfully
complete its first outing with a second in category win and a seventh
overall finish. Less than a week later, the IFM race car took it’s
first
category win at Oberhallau, setting the fourth best total time of the
event whilst Gurnigel saw the Formula S2000 finish second in its
category with a
sixth place overall finish.
“We
have made very little changes to the car so
far,” said Jenzer Motorsport Team Principal Andreas Jenzer. “It was
almost taken straight from delivery to its first hill climb as
Florian Lachat just wanted to get used to the car and have some fun!
Things have worked out very well so far and we are very happy with our
results.”
“I
was rather surprised to hear about this
project,” added IFM Series Director Mauro Sipsz. “However, it is great
to hear how well the Formula S2000 is doing away from the track
and shows how truly versatile the car can be.”
