FORMULA
A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
JLANCASTER IS WORLD VICE
CHAMPION
BIREL COLOURS
IN THE LIMELIGHT WITH THE YOUNG ENGLISHMAN, BUT ALSO
THANKS TO THE EXCELLENT PERFORMANCES OF LITCHIFIELD
(PF INTERNATIONAL) AND CHRISTODOULOU (MGM)
Braga
(Portugal) September 25th - The Braga track hosted the
most important event of the season in the 100 class:
the Formula A World Championship. For the past three
years, this title has been awarded through a single
race, therefore forcing teams and drivers to do their
best without any possibility of mistakes. These conditions
require, in addition to great competitiveness, also
a good deal of luck. In terms of competitiveness, the
Birel colours have proved themselves on top, even if
the absolute victory was missed by a hair’s breadth.

Young Jon Lancaster
went incredibly close, reaching the second place and
ending his first season in Formula A with the prestigious
title of World Vice-Champion after having already conquered
the 3rd place in the European Championship.
But this championship
could also have been Christodoulou’s one: the
driver ran superb qualifiers, won three heats out of
four and was stopped only by a mechanical failure in
the Final. The same holds true for excellent Litchfield,
who was leading the race head to head with Oliver Oakes
when an engine failure stopped him.

The driver of the Gillard
team was therefore left alone in command of the race and
could easily administer the advantage he had gained over
Lancaster in the early stages of the race. Oakes was thus
crowned World Champion ahead of the Englishman of Birel
Motorsport and Forè. The fourth placing went to
Bianchi after his comeback from the back rows, whereas
Cesetti was kept away from the top positions by a problem
with the carburettor.
