David Fumanelli scored important points in the first race of Renault Sport Trophy at Motorland circuit in Alcaniz, theatre of the R.S.01’s debut.
A not easy weekend for the Italian driver, considering the lack of tests and mileage made during the winter, but he managed to score the first points for the championship.
The balance of the car in qualifying wasn’t perfect and that cost David a good position and he ended up with a eighth place for the starting grid.
But thanks to a brilliant start and a great comeback he crossed the line in 5th place, securing the first important points for the championship.
In the Endurance race he finished 6th, but the result was compromised by an accidental contact at the early stages of the race. The duo Fumanelli – Hand were able to recover from last position with some great moves and fast laps.
