Kasper shines at Valencia for Motul Team West-Tec
Slotting in for a debut Formula 3 test young Dane, Kasper Krogh, shone at Valencia on 15th December with Team West-Tec.
Driving one of the teams racewinning Dallara Copa F306 cars in European F3 Open configuration, this was a both a first test in Formula 3 machinery as well as a first visit to Valencia for Kasper, 19, who had never actually been to Spain before.
Maximising the track time available, and despite not being able to use new tyres, Kasper completed 300 km of driving and recorded a fastest lap which would have given him a respectable grid position on the European F3 Open grid.
Kasper Krogh: I really enjoyed driving the Formula 3 car, and it was a clear step up from what I have raced before. I was steady to start with, not knowing either the car or the circuit, although the work I had been able to do on the team Formula 3 simulator the week before was a big help.
I feel ready to race at Formula 3 level now and I am focussed on putting plans together for 2011 and 2012.
John Miller, Motul Team West-Tec: Kasper did a very good job, especially for a driver with so little comparative experience. He has driven in Danish Formula Ford Zetec and a handful of Formula Renault races before, although you wouldn’t know that. With more testing, he would just get quicker and quicker and I am no doubt could challenge at the front.
We would certainly like to do more with Kasper, as he is a pleasant driver to work with and I think would be very competitive, so I am sure we will be seeing more of him.
