Simon Schranz made a highly convincing his debut in the F4 CEZ Championship in Brno this weekend
Schranz has been preparing for entry into the official FIA Formula 4 championships as part of the Formelaustria Young Driver program since this season and has won seven club races as part of this. Last weekend he had his baptism of fire in the F4 Central Europe and did very well.
In the first of three races at the Autodrom Brno, Schranz finished a good sixth in the F4 car of the Renauer Motorsport team, in the second he narrowly missed his first podium in fourth place, and in the third race he had to give up through no fault of his own after being touched by his opponent in the fight for P4 due to a puncture. In the rookie classification, Schranz took P2 twice!
“As a racer, I obviously can’t be completely satisfied, because the podium was within reach in race 2 and the failure in race 3 hurts. But objectively speaking, the first weekend was pretty good,” analyzed Schranz calmly and immediately set the direction.
Team boss Sepp Renauer could only agree: “We spent nine months preparing Simon for this assignment and he delivered. We could certainly have done even better, but Rome wasn’t built in a day.”
The racing team boss was alluding to the fact that Schranz will also start at the F4 Central Europe season finale at the Salzburgring as the second Austrian alongside table leader Oscar Wurz, “in order to gain even more experience for the planned full racing season in this championship next year,” Renauer continued.
The finale in Salzburg will take place on September 21/22 and Formelaustria.at will be giving away meet & greets with Schranz.
