Charouz celebrates Renault F1 'Reserve Driver' status
2009 Aston Martin Racing driver, Jan Charouz, has taken quite a big step for 2010 as he enters the Formula One circus. Aged just 22, Charouz is the Renault F1 Team Reserve Driver. Already he has established his reputation as a top-line sports car driver having won the Le Mans Series title last year with Aston Martin Racing. Prior to that he enjoyed success in single-seaters and was crowned F3000 International Masters Champion in 2006. Apart from the association with Renault F1 Team, Jan will compete in the World Series by Renault for 2010.
For the past three years, 22-year-old Charouz has focused his efforts on sportscar racing in the LMP1 class of the Le Mans Series and 24 Hours Le Mans, and finishing his university studies. After a three year campaign, he has been crowned the 2009 Le Mans Series champion and finished fourth in 24 Hours Le Mans with the factory Aston Martin Racing team.
It is alleged that Charouz had already made the decision to compete in the World Series by Renault in 2010 to start his route into F1 when this very interesting offer from Renault F1 Team came in. Renault F1 Team announced a drivers pairing of Robert Kubica (POL) and Vitaly Petrov (RUS). Jan Charouz (CZE) and Ho-Pin Tung (CN) were announced as Renault F1 Team Reserve Drivers.
As Renault F1 Team ‘Reserve Driver, Charouz will participate in Renault F1 Team test sessions. He could be recruited in Grand Prix Friday’s free practices in official colours of Renault F1 Team and also in the race. Jan Charouz will closely work with the team and also participate in their promotions.
Walter Röhrl and the standard GT3 RS road car
Have you ever wondered what the real difference is between a Porsche GT3 and a GT3 RS?
Porsche’s answer is, “The Porsche GT3 is designed for occasional use on the race track while the Porsche GT3 RS is designed for occasional use on the road.” Porsche intends to put its money where its mouth is during the Nürburgring 24-hour race this coming May…
In addition to Porsche running their standard contingent of 911 GT3 RSRs – that have dominated their class for the last four years running – Porsche legendary test driver Walter Röhrl will compete in a standard Porsche 911 GT3 RS that anyone can purchase from their local Porsche dealer!
“Right from the word go, the new 911 GT3 RS reminded me of a race vehicle,” says Röhrl. “No other road-going 911 has ever been as close to a race car as this current GT3 RS. That’s why I’m thrilled to be able to prove that this sports car is up to the challenge of the 24 hour race.” It’s safe to assume the car will be well supported by the factory so if Röhrl runs the course well, and there’s no reason to believe he won’t, this could be a very clever piece of marketing by Porsche – let’s hope the car doesn’t fail after 2 hours!
