Victory and podiums at Red Bull Ring
Formula Racing continued its strong momentum in Ferrari Challenge Europe this past weekend as the Danish squad celebrated an impressive weekend at Austria’s Red Bull Ring with one victory and four additional podium finishes across the third round of the 2026 season.
The highlight came in Saturday’s Trofeo Pirelli race, where Danish driver Anders Bidstrup claimed a superb class victory after starting from the front row. Fellow Dane Jacob Bidstrup also completed a strong race for Formula Racing by securing third place – meaning both brothers shared the podium together!
In Coppa Shell Am, Hong Kong driver Charles Chan secured pole position before claiming two second-place finishes across the weekend, while Japanese driver Masaru Yoneda added another podium result with third place in Saturday’s race. Danish driver Henrik Kamstrup showed promising pace before retiring from the opening race and later fighting back to finish Sunday’s race in 11th place.
In Coppa Shell, Hong Kong driver Eric Cheung continued his strong season with valuable points-scoring finishes in fifth and seventh place, while Japanese driver Ken Seto also secured important championship points with sixth and seventh-place finishes.
The results move Anders Bidstrup up to fourth in the Trofeo Pirelli Am standings, while Eric Cheung remains third in Coppa Shell. Charles Chan now sits second overall in the Coppa Shell Am championship, and Formula Racing has climbed to second place in the teams’ standings – just nine points from the championship lead.
“Fantastic results from the entire team, both the drivers and the crew in the garage. Seeing both Bidstrup brothers on the podium together – with Anders taking victory – was a special moment for all of us and shows what dedication and hard work can achieve,” says Race & Event Executive at Formula Racing, Thor Qualmann.
The next round of Ferrari Challenge Europe takes place at the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe during the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans weekend.
