Drexler-Automotive Formula Cup - Mugello (ITA)

The trip to Tuscany was worthwhile for Benjamin Berta in all respects. The Hungarian from the Franz Wöss Racing team scored the necessary points to win the title at the 8th round of the Drexler Formula Cup in Mugello. The final was marked by enormous tension and, as was to be expected, the Formula 3 drivers from the ZINOX F2000 Trophy did not play an unimportant role in the awarding of points. Francesco Galli (G Motorsport) took pole position in qualifying with a 1:39.917, beating Juju Noda (Noda Racing) by 0.467 seconds. Benjamin Berta was close behind, ahead of defending champion Sandro Zeller (Jo Zeller Racing). The start of the first race on Sunday morning was delayed by 45 minutes due to a wall of fog in Mugello. In the start duel Galli kept the upper hand against Berta and Noda, while Sandro Zeller lost his fourth position to Bernardo Pellegrini (HT Powertrain). In the early stages, a safety car period neutralised the race. Bejamin Berta completed the re-start flawlessly and passed Galli, with the Italian reacting immediately to regain first position. The pace of the group of three with Berta, Galli and Noda was impressive. They managed to open a gap to the chasers. Galli didn't let up and took his chance to overtake Berta in a manoeuvre. Behind them, the positions were decided. Galli won ahead of Berta, who was crowned champion early. Behind Noda and Pellegrini, Sandro Zeller finished in fifth place.

Drexler - Automotive Formula Cup - Mugello (ITA)

The Drexler Formula Cup is entering the home straight in its 10th season at Mugello. Next weekend (06.-08.10.) points will be awarded for the last time. The championship can boast a great field of starters on the 5.245-kilometre circuit at the Mugello Racing Weekend. "We have almost 40 Formula cars on the grid. Of course, Formula 3 is very strongly represented in the field," says coordinator Franz Wöss. Like all the teams and drivers, he is looking forward to the renewed encounter with the ZINOX F2000 Trophy, which presents the Formula 3 scene in Italy. The ultra-fast circuit in Tuscany has come into the limelight mainly due to the MotoGP races in recent years. For the Drexler Formula Cup, it is already the second appearance in Mugello, as they completed the season opener here this year. The winners in the spring were Benjamin Berta (Franz Wöss Racing) and Juju Noda (Noda Racing).

Drexler Formula Cup - Automotodrom Brno (CZE)

For Juju Noda (Noda Racing) the success curve just doesn't stop. At the 7th round of the Drexler Formula Cup in Brno, the Japanese driver scored her second double victory of this year's season. First, Noda set the fastest lap times in qualifying and took pole position for both races. Outstanding was her fastest lap for the 2nd race on Sunday, where she sensationally drove around the Masaryk Circuit with a 1:51.378 min and distanced the competition with Sandro Zeller (Jo Zeller Racing) and Benjamin Berta (Franz Wöss Racing). Noda then made no secret in both races to the Drexler Formula Cup that the victory will only go through you. It was really exciting for the other podium positions, where Sandro Zeller and Benjamin Berta fought a duel on equal terms, as they have done so often this season. Benjamin Berta came out on top in both races and thus created a points cushion in the battle for the championship, which will be decided in October at the finale in Mugello (ITA). Behind the top three, Hungarian Janos Magyar (Magyar Racing Team) finished fourth both times.
