DR Racing bids hard in KFJ

The highly competitive KFJ field saw Petrov shining in more than one session. After stopping the 8^th fastest lap in qualifying, the Russian went on to finish twice 2^nd in the heats, but his chance for a top grid position were shattered when he was taken out in the 2^nd and got 10” penalty in the 3^rd. Another penalty – this time 3” – in the prefinal relegated the fast Russian on P19 in the final grid, following which a superb comeback ensued with a massive 10 positions gained. Ninth at the chequered flag is not a podium finish, but the potential is there.
Similar faith for fellow Russian Travnikov, boasting two top-10 results in the heats, followed by an exclusion in the final due to a non front fairing non conformity. Too bad, because Sergey mastered the field coming back up from 33^rd on the grid to take the chequered flag in P11.
