A rewarding weekend at Circuit de la Sarthe

Formula Racing returned from the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe with four podium finishes and valuable championship points after round four of the Ferrari Challenge Europe season, held as part of the world-famous 24 Hours of Le Mans weekend.

The strongest results came from American driver Blake McDonald and Japan’s Masaru Yoneda, who both secured back-to-back podium finishes. McDonald finished second in both Trofeo Pirelli Am races, while Yoneda claimed two runner-up results in Coppa Shell Am to continue his strong run of form this season.

Formula Racing also celebrated a class pole position courtesy of Belgian newcomer Enzo Ide in Trofeo Pirelli Am. Ide converted his strong qualifying pace into a top-10 finish in Race 1 before misfortune struck in the second race. Danish brothers Anders and Jacob Bidstrup both collected valuable championship points throughout the weekend, while Japanese driver Nobuhiro Imada secured consistent finishes in a highly competitive field.

In Coppa Shell, Canadian driver Eric Cheung continued his points-scoring streak with fifth and sixth-place finishes, while Danish driver Henrik Kamstrup bounced back from a difficult opening race to secure a strong fifth-place finish in the final race of the weekend.

“First of all, congratulations to all our drivers, who fought their way through the highlight of the season and secured valuable championship points, especially our podium finishers. Le Mans did not disappoint. It is an iconic venue with hundreds of thousands of fans, an incredible atmosphere, and a legendary event to be part of. The Ferrari Challenge field played its part in creating a fantastic show, and we leave Le Mans with great memories and important points for the championship,” says Thor Qualmann, Race & Event Executive at Formula Racing.

The next round of Ferrari Challenge Europe takes place at Portimão, Portugal, on July 18-19.
